Annual Report 2001 - Chubb Group of Insurance Companies

CHUBB = GLOBAL REACH
When you manufacture high-tech scientific instruments
used to discover cures for diseases and to
test Olympic athletes for drug use, you have to be precise
in every aspect of your business — including insurance
coverage. For the past 13 years, Thermo Electron
Corporation has relied on Chubb for underwriting
flexibility and our network of 134 offices in 31 countries
which enable us to serve Thermo wherever it does
business. “Chubb’s strong balance sheet, professional
employees, underwriting flexibility and range of products
are the Chubb brand,” declares Richard Somerville, the
Massachusetts-based company’s director of risk management.
Insuring a leading provider of technology-based
instruments, components and systems is familiar territory
for Chubb. For more than 20 years, we’ve been the
property and casualty insurer of choice for technology
companies the world over.
