Zurich Financial Services Group has launched its Global Industry Specialization Program, which was developed to “better leverage its existing knowledge base and expertise in general insurance and to further expand its risk insights into specific industry sectors,” according to the company.
The program brings together managers from different regions and markets to help Zurich create differentiated customer insurance programs and tailor risk management, a company official said. Initially, Zurich will focus on automotive, construction and real estate sectors.
“Providing customers with the value of Zurich’s risk insights and understanding of the industry sectors we do business in will enable Zurich to retain existing customers and expand into further attractive markets for continued profitable growth,” said John Amore, CEO of Zurich’s general insurance segment.
