Sompo has been granted licences to write primary insurance locally in Belgium and the Netherlands, extending its commercial P/C insurance capabilities and product offerings in Continental Europe, where the insurer also operates in Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Switzerland.

Ralph Brand, president, Continental Europe Insurance said: “Sompo has grown its presence significantly across Continental Europe in recent years and the authorisations to write primary insurance locally in Belgium and the Netherlands provide yet another milestone for our business.

“We know clients are increasingly looking for partners with local presence aligned with global expertise who can support them through all aspects of the many and often complex risks they face.”
