Press Release

(For immediate release)

At the recent Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association (GLTPA) general membership meeting in Stevens Point, executive director Henry Schienebeck announced a GLTPA Board of Directors decision to endorse Secura Insurance, Appleton, Wisconsin, as the recommended commercial insurance company for GLTPA members.

The Secura logging insurance program was developed by Gary Ascher, President, Loggers Insurance Agency, Inc in 1994. The Secura logger insurance program, which is administered by Ascher, has provided innovative insurance coverages to protect businesses in the Logging and Lumbering Businesses in Wisconsin and Michigan. Secura pioneered "downtime coverage" which provides protection for rental reimbursement for both logging equipment and log trucks. Other coverages include some of the highest insurance limits available for cross cutting losses or fire damage liability. The Secura program also offers a special premium discount for loggers or log haulers who complete F.I.S.T.A. training.

The Secura program is currently available to GLTPA members through Loggers Insurance Agency and Mauck Insurance Agency. Mauck has partnered with Loggers since 1998. Mauck offers the program to GLTPA members in the northeastern corner of Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, while Loggers covers the remainder of Wisconsin.
