Zurich Insurance Group AG (Zurich Insurance Group AG) Business Description

Address
Mythenquai 2, Corporate Center, Zurich, CHE, 8002
Zurich is a multiline insurer that writes business across both life and non-life insurance and also owns Farmers Management Services. The company was founded in 1872, originally as a marine reinsurer, to provide reinsurance to its parent company. Zurich subsequently expanded into transport and accident insurance and then rode the wave of transport technology 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 that would be damaging to both customers and Zurich. Over the years Zurich has sought to combine goodwill in claims with a sufficient premium. Zurich is now one of the most successful insurers in Europe.
