FARM EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER’S ASSOCIATION (FEMA)
Since 1973, Sentry and the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association (FEMA) have worked together to provide products liability coverage to farm equipment manufacturers.
The Sentry/FEMA program, specifically designed to meet the insurance needs of FEMA members, provides value that is unrivaled by any other insurance program. That's why FEMA has
exclusively endorsed Sentry as their recommended insurance provider.
COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES
The Sentry/FEMA program is a comprehensive approach to furthering the interests of farm equipment manufacturers.

Sentry’s staff of professional safety consultants average more than 18 years of experience in comprehensive safety disciplines, including safety and loss control, industrial hygiene, OSHA/DOT
compliance, ergonomics and fleet safety. With this extensive background, Sentry safety consultants help FEMA members:
- Develop a management policy statement focusing on workplace safety
