Mutual property and casualty insurer
New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company (NJM) was founded in 1913 by a group of manufacturers seeking to provide cost-effective, safety conscious and financially secure workers' compensation insurance for their workers. From inception the Company has operated as a mutual, with a focus on the needs of its policyholders.
Today, NJM Insurance Group, is a leading mid-sized U.S. property and casualty insurance company with 90 consecutive years of A+ financial strength ratings by AM BEST. Due to exceptional employee experience, NJM has been included on the latest Forbes List of Best Employers in New Jersey for the fourth year in a row. The NJM reputation for being a top provider of outstanding customer service was reaffirmed by the most recent J.D. Power Auto Insurance Claims Survey.
Over the last five years, the Company has focused on a strategic plan that calls for it to become a regional property & casualty insurer and has transitioned away from its affinity-based membership model. To that end, the Company has added an independent agency model for new lines of middle and large commercial and has more than doubled its product offerings. NJM now offers its various products to businesses across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Delaware, and Connecticut.

Mutual property and casualty insurer
NJM Insurance Group provides property and casualty insurance mainly in the Mid-Atlantic, focusing on auto and home coverages and other P&C protection. It operates as a mutual insurer owned by its policyholders, using premium dollars to fund coverage, claims, and service rather than paying dividends to outside owners. Customers get protection through policies (notebook of auto and home insurance) and a claims process backed by financial stewardship and strong service. NJM differentiates itself by its mutual ownership model and a commitment to value-based solutions and service, plus regional recognition for auto claims experience and employer awards (e.g., leading Mid-Atlantic auto insurer in J.D. Power 2025 AIS; Forbes Best In-state Employer 2019–2025). Its stated goal is to provide value-based insurance solutions with the highest levels of service, integrity, and financial stewardship for policyholders in the Mid-Atlantic.
