Team Haugen + EcoLube Recovery | HUB International Northwest

The Fit

Why Team Haugen

EcoLube Recovery runs a multi-state environmental operation: used oil recycling and re-refining across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, a Portland refinery, and a fleet of vacuum trucks. Team Haugen is built for exactly that kind of layered, industrial, multi-location risk. We are Oregon-based, relationship-first, and structured to bring HUB International's national carrier breadth with local accountability. Here is why that matters for an operation like yours.

Team Haugen · HUB International Northwest

Deep Industrial and Environmental Knowledge

We work hands-on across industrial and environmental accounts, from pollution and environmental liability to fleet, property, and workers compensation. We speak the language of a re-refining and waste operation and understand what keeps an owner up at night.

We Do the Homework Before We Ever Meet

This page is the proof. Before a first meeting we study the operation, map the coverage exposures across your facilities, fleet, and environmental profile, and come prepared. We do not show up cold. That is the standard, not the exception.

Pacific Northwest Roots

We are Oregon-based, the region EcoLube calls home. We understand local carrier markets, Oregon and Northwest regulatory nuance, and the regional business culture a Northwest-owned company values in a partner.

Built for Multi-State, Multi-Facility Risk

EcoLube operates across three states with a refinery, satellite facilities, and a fleet. We structure programs for layered, multi-location operations, not single-site accounts, so coverage is consistent everywhere you run.

Specialty Markets and Program Design

HUB International gives Team Haugen access to specialty and admitted markets and underwriting facilities standard retail brokers cannot reach. For an operation with environmental liability, a refinery, a fleet, and regulated-waste handling, program structure matters.

A Licensed Attorney, Built Into Your Team

Don Watson

Client Services Advisor and Licensed Attorney

In-house contract review and risk counsel as part of the insurance relationship, not a separate legal bill.

Don is a licensed attorney embedded directly on Team Haugen, a differentiator most brokerages cannot offer. For a company operating across three states, managing vendor and municipal contracts, environmental compliance obligations, and multi-facility operations, having in-house contract review and risk counsel as part of the insurance relationship, not a separate legal bill, is real value.

Bonds

Surety

Ian Campbell Vice President, Surety

Kristen McGillvrey Sr. Account Manager, Surety

EcoLube serves municipalities, school districts, port authorities, and government agencies across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Relationships like these can carry bonding requirements. Team Haugen brings surety in-house, so if bonding comes up it is handled by the same team that handles your casualty program, not split across two brokers.

A surety relationship is built on the underwriter knowing the account, and Ian leads that here. He brings 18 years in the industry and more than a decade dedicated exclusively to surety, as Past President of the Surety Association of Oregon and a member of the NASBP Leadership Committee. Kristen McGillvrey handles day-to-day servicing.

One house for casualty and surety removes a recurring friction point. The surety underwriter and the casualty underwriter work from the same picture of your company, not two different versions of it.

How We'd Market EcoLube's Account

You have seen how we tell the story. Here is how we would tailor it to EcoLube.

EcoLube's profile, multi-state operations across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, a Portland re-refining facility, a fleet of vacuum trucks, and the handling of used oil, antifreeze, and non-hazardous waste, is one carriers underwrite carefully, so positioning matters.

We take your account to the specialty and admitted markets that actually understand environmental services and waste recycling, not a generic shop-it-around. A competitive process with multiple carrier options, and coverage built around your real exposure.
