Rears Manufacturing
Workers' Compensation + Employee Benefits
Protecting the people who build it. Seventy-five years of craftsmanship, backed by one team.
CONTINUE THE CONVERSATIONThe Relationship
You have spent more than seventy-five years building equipment people depend on, and three generations keeping the Rear name worth something. Team Haugen is already part of how you protect that work. This is simply the next part of a conversation we are already having.
The Rear brothers built this company in 1949. The Haugen brothers built Team Haugen at HUB. Both are family businesses with the name on the door, and both run on trust, craftsmanship, and doing right by the people they serve.
Team Haugen is your property and casualty partner today. We know your operation, your people, and your priorities. Adding workers' compensation and benefits is not a new pitch, it is the next step in a relationship that already works.
A new advisor would spend months getting to know Rears. We are already here. That means less complexity for your team and a faster path to a program built around how you actually operate.
Active Program Management
A true manufacturing operation, metal fabrication, chemical application, and mechanical assembly under one roof, is not a standard small business policy. It needs an advisor who manages the program all year, not just at renewal. Here is what that looks like.
Proactive
We review claims, tighten reporting, and build return-to-work plans before incidents happen, working to keep your experience modifier where it belongs.
Accuracy
Getting every role classified correctly, from the shop floor to the office, so you are not overpaying for the work your people actually do.
Prevention
Connecting Rears to HUB loss control resources, OSHA guidance, and carrier safety engineering, so prevention is built into the program.
Markets
Access to specialty carriers who understand metal fabrication and equipment manufacturing, not just a generalist's short list.
Advocacy
When a claim is disputed, we are the employer's voice, managing the process and the carrier relationship on your behalf.
Where Comp Meets Benefits
Workers' compensation responds to on-the-job injury. Short-term disability responds to off-the-job illness and injury. For a workforce doing physical work every day, both matter, and they are usually placed by different brokers. Holding both relationships lets Team Haugen coordinate them, closing the gaps and avoiding the duplicate cost that comes from running them apart.
Employee Benefits
Skilled trades have options. For a family-owned manufacturer competing for welders, machinists, and fabricators, benefits are how you attract and keep the people who make the work possible. This is the opportunity to build a program that rivals far larger employers.
Group life, short-term, and long-term disability. For a workforce doing physical work, disability coverage is wage protection when an off-the-job illness or injury keeps someone home.
A retirement plan built around a long-tenured, multi-generational workforce, the kind of benefit that says a family business is investing in its people for the long run.
The Specialist We Bring
Employee Benefits
Strategy & Financial Consultant, Financial Planning
A benefits program is a strategy, not a renewal quote. Samantha Bradley brings that strategy to the Rears relationship, from plan design and renewal marketing to the disability and retirement decisions that matter most to a skilled-trades workforce.
She works alongside the Team Haugen advisors you already know, so benefits become part of one coordinated relationship, not a separate broker to manage.
The Fit
Three coverages, one relationship. Here is what it means to bring workers' compensation and benefits under the team that already protects what Rears has built.
Family business to family business. The Haugen brothers built Team Haugen the way the Rear brothers built Rears, on trust, craftsmanship, and doing right by people. That is real common ground, not a talking point.
We are not strangers learning your operation. We know it. Moving comp and benefits to Team Haugen skips the learning curve a new advisor would face and reduces complexity for your team.
We understand metal fabrication risk specifically, not manufacturing in the abstract. Multi-role payroll, return-to-work, the realities of a shop floor. You will know quickly whether an advisor understands your world. We do.
Three coverages, one team that knows you. A comp claim, a benefits question, a property and casualty issue, you are not calling three different brokers. For a family-owned company without a large internal risk team, that simplicity is real value.
Your Team
One team across every line you carry. Three Haugen principals lead the relationship, backed by HUB's workers' compensation, benefits, and risk management specialists.
