Cabot, Inc., which bought the first policy in 1948 on its British carbon-black plant, points out that an insured company gets a big boost in its credit rating. General Mills, after insuring a bean-processing setup in Pakistan, was so sold on the insurance that it made plans to insure all new foreign investments, "though we hope never to have to collect...
