The Zurich Financial Services Group announced the acquisition of 100 percent of Wexford, Ireland-based Wrightway Underwriting Limited following receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals.
Zurich described its new acquisition as “one of the most successful independent underwriting agencies in Ireland with a turnover of €25.5 million [$34.87 million] as of December 2006.”
