Here's what some of our members are saying: manufacturersofmaine.com If you'd like to learn more, please visit our website at Being one of the founding members of the Manufacturers of Maine Group Trust, we have found that over the years we are getting far more than Workers Compensation Coverage. The resources that are available and the knowledge from other Maine Manufacturers that is shared, have become a part of our operating strategies' and training program. We find the rates to be very competitive with the market and with refunds over the years averaging 25%, we have realized lower overall cost for Workers Comp coverage. One of the largest benefits to us has been the ability to talk to a person you are familiar with concerning a claim and getting real time information. When keeping your employees safe and productive, knowledgeable communication with employees goes a long way in promoting good employee relations. — Alan F Smith, President of Fastco Corporation Volk Packaging joined the Group Trust in 2021 and we have not regretted it for a minute. We feel we are well represented. The guidance and advice we receive f rom the facilitators and the other members are priceless. — Derek Volk, CEO of Volk Packaging Corp & Volk Paxit Speaking as a newer member of Manufacturers of Maine Group Trust, it has been ref reshing to see how committed the team is to provide my company with the tools to conduct business in the safest possible environment. We had lost our focus on safety and it was costing us in lost time and higher premiums. I now feel like we have put our premiums to work for us and we are reaping the benefits. — Layton Day, Owner/President of Bangor Wholesale Laminates
