European boutique managing general agent (MGA), Alta Signa Europe B.V. has announced the opening of its new office in Switzerland, marking a significant milestone in the company’s expansion strategy in the DACH region.
Alta Signa, a Coverholder at Lloyd’s, benefits from high-quality capacity provided by select partners from its independent capacity panel, ensuring robust and reliable coverage for its clients.
The new office in Switzerland is a strategic move to enhance the firm’s ability to serve the diverse and sophisticated Swiss market, which is known for its strong financial services sector, luxury goods industry, and commodity trading.
This expansion is aimed at addressing the growing demand for specialised insurance solutions in the region.
The opening of the Swiss office represents the final milestone in Alta Signa’s DACH regional footprint, complementing its existing offices in Germany and Austria.
This local presence will enable the company to leverage local language skills and distribution networks, enhancing its ability to offer specialised and technically developed insurance solutions.
Maximillian Moll, branch manager – DACH, emphasised the importance of a local presence, “With our existing offices in Germany and Austria, the new branch in Switzerland represents the final milestone in our DACH regional footprint. Establishing an office here allows us to leverage our local language skills and distribution networks, which are core to Alta Signa’s unique position in the market. This presence will enable us to offer enhanced insurance solutions developed by technical experts and tailored to the specific needs of the Swiss market, where we see strong growth potential.”
Gerard Van Loon, Chief Executive Officer of Alta Signa, commented, “We believe the Swiss financial services and cyber insurance markets will continue to expand, and offer tremendous opportunities for those that are able to match specialist underwriting expertise and local market insights with global risk capacity, particularly for constantly evolving or newly emerging specialty risks. We are excited to bring our local knowledge and innovative approach to this vibrant market, backed by Lloyd’s Coverholder status and our independent capacity providers, and I have every confidence that Max and the DACH team will drive successful growth in the region.”
