Hoffman Hanafin & Associates is a locally owned, privately held Buffalo-based insurance, surety, and risk management firm

Hoffman Hanafin & Associates is a locally owned, privately held Buffalo-based insurance, surety, and risk management firm helping manufacturers and businesses protect their people, facilities, equipment, operations, and long-term growth. The firm combines commercial insurance with proactive risk management, loss control, claims support, surety bonding, and alternative insurance solutions tailored to each client’s operations and exposures.

For manufacturers, Hoffman Hanafin takes a hands-on approach to risk management by working to identify and reduce potential exposures before they become costly claims or operational disruptions. Loss control services include written safety programs, facility and site inspections, best-practice benchmarking, driving and fleet safety programs, New York State Code 60 discount assistance, Code Rule 59 compliance, OSHA 10- and 30-hour training, and captive insurance consulting.

Commercial insurance solutions can be structured around the unique risks associated with manufacturing and industrial operations, including property, equipment, general liability, workers’ compensation, commercial auto and fleet exposures, business interruption, and other business-specific insurance needs. As an independent agency representing multiple major insurance carriers, Hoffman Hanafin can evaluate coverage options and develop insurance programs based on the individual needs of each organization.

Hoffman Hanafin also provides dedicated claims support and advocacy. When an incident occurs, the team assists clients throughout the claims process with the goal of achieving an efficient resolution while minimizing disruption to the business.

For companies with strong safety performance, favorable claims history, and established risk-management practices, Hoffman Hanafin offers captive insurance consulting and alternative risk solutions. Captive programs can provide qualifying businesses with greater control over their insurance program, claims handling, costs, and long-term risk strategy.

Surety services are also available for businesses requiring bonding for construction, contracts, and large-scale projects. Hoffman Hanafin works with clients to evaluate bonding requirements and identify appropriate surety solutions to help projects remain on schedule and within budget.
