Company Profile
Zurich is a multiline insurer that writes business across both life and nonlife insurance and also owns Farmers Management Services. Zurich was founded in 1872 as a marine reinsurer to provide reinsurance to its parent company. The business subsequently expanded into transport and accident insurance and rode the wave of transport innovation that drove rising demand for insurance. One of Zurich’s early principles was that setting prices too low would result in unfair claims handling, which would be damaging to both customers and Zurich. Over the years, Zurich has sought to establish customer goodwill through claims and adequate premiums. Zurich is one of the most successful European multilines.
