The HDI-Gerling brand, which transacts both property/casualty insurance and life insurance, was born in 2007 out of a union of the traditional HDI and Gerling brands – each of which can draw upon more than 100 years of experience.
The Property/ Casualty group
The HDI-Gerling Property/Casualty Insurance Group brings together companies dedicated first and foremost to the product segments of property insurance, liability insurance, personal accident insurance and legal protection insurance.
The range of insurance offerings extends from property and casualty insurances for undertakings in Germany and many other countries around the globe through legal protection, life, property and casualty for retail customers to products and models for individual and occupational retirement provision. Investment products can also be purchased through a product partnership with AmpegaGerling Investment GmbH.
HDI-Gerling Industrie Versicherung AG, which specializes exclusively in industrial business, is organizationally geared to serving the three customer groups of commercial/trade customers, SMEs and corporate groups. The company is guided by the strategic maxims of enlarging its market share in hard market phases and further improving risk quality, while at the same time maintaining a conservative underwriting policy and keeping costs low.
HDI-Gerling Rechtsschutz Versicherung AG is active in both retail and industrial business as a low-price provider.
