R.E.Chaix & Associates Insurance Brokers Inc. of Irvine, Calif., has acquired Whitcomb Insurance Services.
Located in Redondo Beach, Calif., the staff of Whitcomb Insurance Services is relocating to R.E. Chaix’s Irvine headquarters. Former Whitcomb clients should experience a seamless transition. R.E. Chaix will be adding several new carriers as a result of this acquisition.
Timothy Chaix, president of R.E. Chaix, said the acquisition opens new avenues for more property/casualty and commercial auto products.
While Whitcomb Insurance Services was founded in 1979, president Rudy Whitcomb entered the industry in 1959 launching his long career on Wilshire Boulevard at Bayly Martin and Fay. Specializing in writing “large, difficult and unusual” risks, Whitcomb has enjoyed a long run in the industry and will be retiring.
