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.”
The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Zurich said: “The existing management team at Wrightway Underwriting will continue to develop activities in chosen markets. Wrightway is a specialist provider of niche solutions in General insurance. It has particular strengths in the private and commercial motor insurance sector as well as property and construction related markets.
