Higginbotham, one of the largest independent insurance brokerages, has acquired Alabama-based Fountain, Parker, Harbarger & Associates, a 103-year-old agency.
FPH&A was founded in 1921 and has been with some carriers for almost as long, the companies said in a news release. The agency, based in Huntsville in north Alabama, provides commercial and personal insurance throughout the Southeast.
Prinicipal and administrative manager, Mark Harbarger, said that as Huntsville continues to grow, the agency leaders felt it needed a partner with national scope.
Higginbotham is headquartered in Texas. It has continued a steady march toward expansion over the last few years.
