West Bend Mutual Insurance Company is now doing business in Tennessee with a variety of commercial insurance products sold through independent insurance agencies.
Based in West Bend, Wis, the company offers a range of commercial products and services, insurance for specialty lines, bonds, and a monoline workers’ compensation product. At this time, a limited number of independent agencies have been appointed; however, the company plans to continue to expand into the marketplace.
“West Bend is very pleased to begin writing business with our Tennessee agencies,” said Randee Hubbard, West Bend’s director of sales. “We look forward to providing our valued agent-partners and their customers with the fine products and superior service West Bend is known for.”
“We consider our relationships with our agents to be partnerships, and West Bend whole-heartedly endorses a strong independent agency system,” said Kevin Steiner, West Bend president and CEO. “As a mutual company, our loyalty is to our agents and policyholders, and the decisions we make are predicated on what’s best for them, as well as for our associates. That commitment has led to nearly 125 years of strength and success.”
