In 1983, Frank and Louise Hagerty realized that appropriate insurance coverage for their collector wooden boats didn't exist. 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.

Gen Re's history began in 1921 when two Norwegian companies, Norwegian Globe and Norwegian Assurance, merged and took the name General Casualty and Surety Reinsurance Corporation. Starting with $800,000 in capital and $900,000 in surplus, General Casualty and Surety set out to write casualty reinsurance. In 1923, American investors acquired the company and changed the name to General Reinsurance Corporation. In 1929 General Reinsurance affirmed that it would be only a direct reinsurer and also would write no less than 100% of a treaty. In 1945, General Reinsurance Corporation merged with Mellon Indemnity, bringing new capital to the company so that, in the face of foreign competition, it could become a stronger reinsurance force.
