W. R. Berkley Corporation Introduces New Complementary Coverages to Product Recall Business

Renames Berkley Global Product Recall To Berkley Product Protection

W. R. Berkley Corporation (NYSE: WRB) today announced that its Berkley Global Product Recall business is broadening its current product offerings and changing its name to Berkley Product Protection. In addition to product recall coverages, new liability coverages will be available for a wide array of medium to high hazard risks, including manufacturers, wholesalers and importers. The new coverages - product liability, general liability and excess liability - will be primarily offered on an admitted basis with targeted effective dates beginning January 1, 2023.

Luis Rivera, who has served as president of Berkley Global Product Recall since May 2022, has significant expertise in these additional specialty lines of business. Joining the team to establish strong underwriting and claims foundations for the new product offerings are Ken Shoop, senior vice president and product liability chief underwriting officer, and Allison Daly, senior vice president and chief claims officer. Mr. Shoop and Ms. Daly both have extensive leadership experience in these coverage offerings.

W. Robert Berkley, Jr., president and chief executive officer of W. R. Berkley Corporation, commented, “We are pleased to be expanding our capabilities in areas of the market that are natural complements to our product recall business and bring added value to our clients. Berkley Product Protection offers products where expertise truly matters. Luis is an exceptional leader who is building upon a strong foundation with a knowledgeable and talented team and we look forward to their continued success.”
