Victory White Metal Company

Since 1920, the Victory White Metal Company has been furnishing its worldwide customers with the highest grade just in time engineered customized alloys for use in the automotive, housing, medical, electronics, ammunition and stained glass industries. In its nearly 100 year history, White Metal had never sustained a significant peril. That all changed when a massive fire ripped through the large 44,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Cleveland, Ohio. Within 24 hours, White Metal was in discussions with the Alex N. Sill Company, the nation’s leading public adjuster and loss consultant, seeking assistance on how White could continue its business operations, while at the same time attempting to handle a large insurance claim.

Alex Stanwick, President of White Metal, quickly came to conclusion that hiring Sill was the clear path to a successful loss adjustment and the continuity of its worldwide business. Sill immediately deployed its in house staff of adjusters, building consultants, contents professionals, and accountants to help prepare the necessary documentation to present White’s loss claim to its carrier. The result was a very successful recovery for White Metal in excess of $5MM, and the continuity of a long-standing successful Cleveland manufacturing company! As set forth by Mr. Stanwick:

“The one good thing in regards to the fire at the Victory White Metal Company was that we were able to meet and have the assistance of the Alex N Sill Company in accumulating the proper data in handling the experience of a total destruction by fire of our main building. Without your help it would have been a total disaster for us…”
