New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company (NJM) was founded in 1913 by a group of manufacturers seeking to provide cost-effective, safety conscious and financially secure workers' compensation insurance for their workers. From inception the Company has operated as a mutual, with a focus on the needs of its policyholders.

Today, NJM Insurance Group, is a leading mid-sized U.S. property and casualty insurance company with 90 consecutive years of A+ financial strength ratings by AM BEST. Due to exceptional employee experience, NJM has been included on the latest Forbes List of Best Employers in New Jersey for the fourth year in a row. The NJM reputation for being a top provider of outstanding customer service was reaffirmed by the most recent J.D. Power Auto Insurance Claims Survey.

Over the last five years, the Company has focused on a strategic plan that calls for it to become a regional property & casualty insurer and has transitioned away from its affinity-based membership model. To that end, the Company has added an independent agency model for new lines of middle and large commercial and has more than doubled its product offerings. NJM now offers its various products to businesses across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Delaware, and Connecticut.
