GrECo Acquires Majority Stake in Comergon, Expanding Footprint to Greece and Cyprus

GrECo, the leading independent risk consultant & insurance broker in CEE, headquartered in Vienna, Austria, is pleased to announce the acquisition of a majority stake in Comergon, a well-established privately-owned specialist insurance broker for corporate Property & Casualty risks as well as Health & Benefits in Greece and Cyprus. This strategic acquisition strengthens GrECo's footprint in Southeastern Europe and creates a seamless regional presence by linking its operations in neighbouring countries.

The acquisition will allow GrECo to expand its presence in the Greek and Cypriot markets, which are experiencing significant economic growth. Comergon was founded in 1971 and today has 15 employees serving a strong client base of about 450 corporate clients, including both multinational and local companies. The Comergon entities will be renamed GrECo Hellas and GrECo Cyprus respectively. George Zafiriou, CEO & Board Chairman at Comergon, will continue to lead the operations in Greece and Cyprus, ensuring stability and continuity. The current management team and roster will remain unchanged, which is crucial for maintaining market confidence.

With this acquisition, GrECo now has a direct presence in 21 countries, reinforcing its commitment to providing local, high-quality services throughout the region. Comergon, known for its exceptional service and international connections, is a perfect fit for GrECo. Both companies, market leaders in their home countries, share a long history of family ownership and a commitment to excellence and innovation in the risk and insurance industry.

Georg Winter, CEO of GrECo is thrilled "to welcome Comergon to the GrECo Group. This acquisition is a significant step in our growth strategy, enhancing our ability to serve clients all-over Southeastern Europe. In addition to its comprehensive P&C capabilities, Comergon's expertise in Health & Benefits and International client servicing aligns perfectly with our own offerings, and together we will continue to provide unparalleled service to our clients."

"We are excited to join forces with GrECo, a company that shares our values and commitment to quality. Throughout our negotiations over the past few months, this alignment has been crystal clear. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Neubrand family and the GrECo Board for their trust and support. This partnership will allow us to leverage GrECo's extensive network and resources, enabling us to better serve our clients and expand our reach. We look forward to a successful collaboration," said George Zafiriou, CEO & Board Chairman at Comergon.

The acquisition of Comergon follows GrECo's recent completion of the transaction for MAI CEE Group and the establishment of subsidiaries in North Macedonia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, further demonstrating GrECo's commitment to expanding its footprint and enhancing its service offering. Together, GrECo and Comergon will continue to be trusted partners for clients and brokers internationally.
