Optio Group, a leading specialty MGA, today announces the completion of its acquisition of Netherlands and Brussels based MGA Den Hartigh Beheer & Exploitatie B.V., first announced in July, after receiving all necessary regulatory approvals.
Founded in 1916, the tech-enabled business specialises in B2B insurance solutions, providing a range of property & casualty insurance products, primarily land-based equipment, marine and high net worth, distributed via brokers through its proprietary distribution platform. Jan Den Hartigh, CEO of Den Hartigh, continues to lead the business.
The acquisition marks a major milestone for Optio, being the first of several as part of its ambitious plans for growth in the European market. Optio has since announced its acquisition of Luxembourg-based film and events specialist MGA the Circles Group and a strategic investment in Italian MGA, Heca S.r.l., pending regulatory approval.
