The Hartford Chosen as Preferred Commercial Insurer by National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors

The National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors (NAW), representing more than 40,000 wholesale- distribution companies across the country, has selected The Hartford Financial
Services Group Inc. as its endorsed provider of commercial
property/casualty insurance.

“We are very pleased about joining with The Hartford to offer
comprehensive insurance tailored to the specific needs of wholesaler-
distributors,” said Dirk Van Dongen, NAW president. “The Hartford’s
reputation for quality, financial strength and stability, and its long history of serving wholesaler-distributors of all sizes, make it a perfect insurance partner, particularly for our members with complex exposures.”

The Hartford offers industry-specific underwriting expertise and coverages to meet the insurance needs of companies in the wholesale distribution industry. In addition to providing core commercial insurance coverages – property, liability, commercial auto and workers’ compensation insurance – The Hartford offers expedited claims handling services and a countrywide
network of loss control and risk management experts to help wholesaler-distributors protect their businesses and minimize loss costs.

As part of their strategic alliance, NAW and The Hartford will reach out
to wholesale distribution companies through The Hartford’s network
of independent agents. NAW will also promote the alliance through its member associations. NAW members will be able to access The Hartford’s program through the NAW’s Web site http://www.naw.org.
