Say hello to Sompo’s new Zurich offices in the historic Brannhof building at Bahnhofstrasse. Located in the heart of the city, the new office space offers easy access for colleagues and visitors.   Originally built in 1912, the property recently underwent extensive renovation and restoration to create a sustainable modern building that retains many original features such as the colourful atrium.   With a strong local presence since 2008, Sompo’s reinsurance operations include more than 50 industry-leading reinsurance professionals based in Zurich. Since we were granted a licence to write primary business here last year, we have continued to grow our presence in Switzerland. Our move to the magnificent Brannhof premises is another strong sign of our long-term commitment and aspirations in this important market.   This will be a fantastic workplace for our team and we look forward to welcoming our valued clients and broker partners.

Finding a tailored solution that spans borders and continents is by no means a small feat. 👇 Our team in Tokyo worked closely with our multinational specialists around the world to develop a solution for an automotive manufacturer’s global cyber exposure. Manabu Hirasuka, VP, Tokyo Office, highlighted the success story as an example of Sompo’s strength: “Our ability to collaborate efficiently and globally is key to our approach to developing tailored solutions to meet each client’s specific needs. It also helps to differentiate Sompo for our clients and brokers.” To learn about this case study in more detail, as well as get other Multinational success stories across #logistics, #realestate, #automotive, and more, visit: https://lnkd.in/eXXydVYy
