Allianz Insurance
Allianz Insurance is part of the Allianz Group, a massive international
insurance, asset management and banking group. The group has a presence in over
70 countries, employing more than 100 000 people. The South African arm is a
fully licensed short-term insurance company which is 100% owed by its overseas
parent. Its mandate is to manage the insurance programmes of Allianz`s customers
in South Africa, as well as those of businesses registered in South Africa, that
hold Allianz agreements.
Allianz Insurance is an exceptionally business oriented insurer, with
very little in the way of personal lines of insurance. It also focuses on
specific business sectors, which include telecoms, the leisure industry, the
media, the food and beverage sector, property ownership, financial institutions,
logistics, engineering and electrical, chemical and pharmaceutical, and the
motor manufacturing industry.
In terms of products, there is again a specific product set that Allianz
focuses on. Many of these are dictated by the industries in which it operates,
as mentioned above. So as you would expect, they offer property insurance
packages, as well as products around engineering insurance, aviation insurance,
and marine insurance. Added to these are liability insurance products.
Aside from straightforward insurance, there are various value-added and
auxiliary products on offer. There is risk consultancy, which is part of the
strategic services offering from the company. Allied to this is risk financing
and alternative risk transfer. Finally, insurance products are available
specifically for directors and officers of companies, taking into consideration
the specific challenges they face and the resultant additional assurance needs.
The Allianz Group is also well known for the high profile events that is
sponsors worldwide. Primary amongst these is the Formula 1 sponsorship with the
AT&T Williams team. Then there is the sponsorship of the America`s Cup, the
flagship yacht challenge between countries.
