Sentric Specialty and Neumann Advisory Services Announce Strategic Partnership for Product Safety Risk Management

Exclusive relationship pairs Sentric Specialty's coverage for food and beverage companies with NAS's real-world product safety expertise to support clients before and after an event

NOVATO, Calif., Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sentric Specialty today announced an exclusive strategic relationship with Neumann Advisory Services, LLC (NAS), a nationally recognized product safety and risk management advisory firm. Through this relationship, Sentric Specialty's eligible policyholders will receive exclusive access to NAS's specialized expertise in product safety, regulatory compliance, food safety, recall preparedness, crisis management and response, and enterprise risk reduction.

The relationship reflects a shared commitment to helping food and beverage manufacturers proactively identify, assess, and mitigate product-related risks before they become costly incidents, insurance claims, or public safety risks. By combining industry-leading underwriting capabilities with practical operational and regulatory expertise, Sentric Specialty is expanding the value it delivers well beyond traditional insurance coverage.

"Insurance is most valuable when it helps prevent losses, not simply respond to them," said Florian Beerli, CEO of Sentric Specialty. "This exclusive relationship allows us to offer our policyholders access to specialized expertise that helps strengthen risk management programs, improve operational resilience, and reduce both the frequency and severity of product-related events."

"Organizations today face increasingly complex product safety, regulatory, and supply chain risks," said Melanie Neumann, President of NAS. "Together with Sentric Specialty, we are creating a unique offering that gives policyholders access to practical, real-world guidance from experienced industry professionals before, during, and after critical events."

Unlike traditional insurance programs that primarily respond after a loss has occurred, this exclusive relationship integrates proactive risk management with insurance protection. Eligible policyholders gain access to experienced advisors who help identify vulnerabilities, strengthen preventive controls, improve recall readiness, and enhance organizational resilience, helping reduce operational disruptions, protect brand reputation, and lower the overall cost of risk. The result is a more comprehensive approach to product safety risk management that helps organizations prevent incidents whenever possible and respond more effectively when they occur.
