Great American Insurance Group - company profile

The Property and Casualty Group is among the oldest in the United States, dating from the founding of Great American Insurance Company in 1872. The P&C Group is made up approximately 30 niche specialty insurance industries that focus on specialized commercial products and services for businesses.

Strong businesses play a crucial role in our communities. But their owners face more risks than ever.

They count on knowledgeable insurance agents to help them manage the risks inherent in their industry, as well as their unique business circumstances.
