The professional association for wood and metal ( BGHM or BG for wood and metal for short ) is one of nine commercial professional associations and thus a provider of statutory accident insurance . It was created on January 1, 2011 through the merger of the steel and rolling mill trade association , the mechanical engineering and metal trade association , the trade association Metall Nord Süd and the wood trade association . This makes the BGHM one of the three largest statutory accident insurance carriers in Germany. It looks after around 5.4 million employees in around 227,000 companies.
