On January 10, 1887 in Huntington, Pennsylvania, 57 mill owners found it difficult to purchase insurance at an affordable price. The insurance companies of the day refused to write insurance on grist mills because they were dangerous and risky to insure (due to the explosive nature of grain dust).

The philosophy behind Penn Millers was to offer the best possible insurance coverage for 57 mill owners at the lowest possible cost.

The The original mill owners found that by a policy of careful selection, strict underwriting, regular inspection and engineering each risk — losses could be reduced and rates kept low. The concept caught on in 1887 and continues today.

All who work for or with the Penn Millers Group of Companies will experience the values of:

At a time when many multiple line insurance companies in New England were putting tremendous pressure on their agents for a “balanced book of business” (ie: increased property business), it became increasingly evident that those companies offering primarily fire and homeowners coverage would be coming “under fire” and that it would become more and more difficult for them to maintain, let alone grow, their position in the marketplace.

With that in mind, in 1985 the Presidents of seven New England Mutual companies - Attleboro Mutual, Dorchester Mutual Insurance Company, Grange Mutual Insurance Company, Hingham Mutual Fire Insurance Company, Manufacturers & Merchants Insurnace Company/Phenix Mutual Fire Insurance Company, Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Saco, Maine, and The Providence Mutual Fire Insurance Company - met to plan a long term strategy to preserve and enhance their property writings throughout New England.

As a result of that, and many more, meetings this group formed N.E. Corporation, a holding company. The holding company, in turn, formed Casco Indemnity Company, with each of the participants at that original meeting buying various amounts of the shares made available and constituting 100% ownership. Casco’s “mission”, as stated in the minutes of a particular Board of Directors meeting, was and is “to support the Mutual company agents, the Mutual company policyholders and the general buying public.”

On June 27, 1985, Casco Indemnity Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maine. And on July 8th of that year we commenced business with a Certificate of Authority being granted by the State of Maine. Later, certificates of authority were issued in the remaining New England states.

At the end of our first full year of operation - 1986 - Casco was represented by less than a dozen independent agents, employed six full time people and had total writings of $93,000 of personal automobile business. We’ve come a long way since those early days to the point where at the end of 2009 - nearly twenty-five years after our incorporation - we now enjoy representation by over 170 independent agents throughout New England; we employ 23 people; we have introduced two additional product lines, and; our premium volume has grown to nearly $18,000,000! Innovative pricing and payment strategies as well as expanding use of the Internet have provided value and convenience to our over 15,500 policyholders. Our approach to handling claims has been such that we have developed a reputation of being aggressive, but fair. A conservative approach to our invested assets has allowed us to remain financially strong.

In 1994, we received our initial AM Best rating of B+ (Very Good) and have been able to enhance that rating to a B++(Very Good) since 1997. After 12 consecutive years at this rating, the company experienced two consecutive years with poor results, which has resulted in a ratings downgrade to B+. We are confident this is a temporary setback and, in time, will regain our previous rating.

So today we stand, working closely with our member company owners, our mission unchanged. We are New England’s auto insurance specialist - a strong and viable insurer providing quality personal & commercial automobile, as well as personal umbrella, protection throughout New England.

So — armed with years of general-lines insurance experience — the Hagerty’s launched a revolutionary agreed value policy for collector boats. Within a few years, half of the vintage boat owners in the country were Hagerty clients.

In 1991, Hagerty created a similar product for collector cars. And in 1995 two of Frank and Louise’s three children, Kim and McKeel, came home to run the family business - despite their vows to never make a career of insurance! Together they’ve overseen the company’s tremendous growth, which has been supported by a great product, exceptional client service, cutting-edge technology, creative marketing and, of course, intelligent, forward-thinking and hard-working employees. In 25 years, Hagerty has grown from a small agency headquartered in the Hagerty family basement to the leading provider of collector car and boat insurance in the world!

Germantown Mutual Insurance Company has been an important business in Wisconsin for over 150 years. On April 1, 1854, just six years after Wisconsin had received its statehood, the Germantown Farmers Mutual Insurance Company was established as the first mutual insurance company in Wisconsin. The original officers and agents were prominent local leaders and dedicated to the development of the Germantown area.

As the company grew, its office was housed in a number of different locations in Germantown. The newest building was completed in 1997 and allows for continued expansion.

The need for the new office building was a direct result of the continued growth and prosperity of Germantown Mutual Insurance Company. In the last few years the company has added several new lines of business such as Auto, Businessowners, and Farm. Through multiple mergers, it has acquired five other insurance companies: City of Waukesha Mutual, Cedarburg Mutual, Lakeland Mutual, Menomonee Mutual and Retail Lumbermens Mutual. As a result of the acquisitions and new lines of business, Germantown Mutual has grown from a $5,000,000 company in 1993 to just over $35,000,000 in written premium in 2006.

Growth has also been steady in both assets and surplus.

During the 1980s, despite the fact that New Jersey’s drivers paid one of the highest premium rates in the nation, auto insurers were reluctant to write new auto insurance policies due to low profitability and massive legislative and regulatory constraints.

It was during this crisis that former New Jersey Insurance Commissioner James J. Sheeran and an award-winning insurance expert, Dr. Lena Chang, founded New Jersey Citizens United Reciprocal Exchange (”NJ CURE”). When it began operations in 1990, NJ CURE was heralded by the media as the “CURE” to the auto insurance crisis in New Jersey. NJ CURE has since evolved into a market leader in policyholder satisfaction to the thousands of responsible drivers who have become its members.

Now that we have expanded outside of New Jersey, our original name was changed from NJ CURE to CURE Auto Insurance. There has been no change in management and we will be providing the same exceptional service on which we have built our reputation in the industry since 1990.

Although certain aspects of the auto insurance crisis of the 1980’s have passed, the overbearing high cost for auto insurance has not. As CURE continues its efforts to keep the Exchange free from high-risk drivers and vigorously defend against fraudulent claims, it will lead the way as the NOT-FOR-PROFIT solution for responsible drivers and the “CURE” for the continuously evolving auto insurance problems.
