Commercial Property Insurer FM Global Featured in April Issue of Fast Company Magazine

JOHNSTON, R.I., USA—FM Global, one of the world’s largest commercial property insurers, is prominently featured in the April 2008 issue of Fast Company magazine, available on major U.S. newsstands now.

The eight-page spread, titled “Burn This,” focuses entirely on FM Global’s Research Campus in West Glocester, R.I., USA, the largest center in the world for replicating warehouse-size fires, dust explosions and windstorms. The story, accompanied by full-page color photography, details how the work conducted at the Research Campus helps more than one-third of the world’s FORTUNE 1,000 companies prevent property damage and related business disruption due to fires, natural disasters and other property risks. The article also is currently posted online at www.fastcompany.com/magazine.

With upward of one million readers, Fast Company is a major monthly business magazine dedicated to reporting about cutting-edge companies, best and “next” practices, innovation, technology and various other topics of interest to the marketplace.

FM Global, founded in 1835, pioneered the use of fire protection at factories at the dawn of the Industrial Age in the United States. The company’s innovative approach to risk management for its clients is based on the belief that the majority of all property damage is preventable, not inevitable. Much of that innovation begins with the scientific research and product testing conducted at the Research Campus.
