We offer a broad range of coverage protection through our products since our inception in 1975. For well over 40 years, we have been providing solutions for the Excess & Surplus lines industry through our valued wholesale agency partners. The Excess & Surplus lines market enables coverage placement for risks that cannot be insured in admitted markets. These traditionally are risks that are unusual, unique and often hard to place in standard markets.
Penn-America Group® is dedicated to the wholesale distribution channel.
We believe that the wholesale general agents representing us are the key to our success. Therefore, we are extremely selective and only appoint agents that demonstrate strong integrity, trust, and the highest standards of ethics and excellence. Our limited distribution approach affords us the ability to serve a broad marketplace without being overly saturated in representation, so that our value, and that of our agents, comes through best in class in service and solutions.
