Zurich Insurance has launched operations in the Polish commercial insurance market, with its new office based in Warsaw. The business will be managed under Zurich Austria, headed by Kurt Möller, who serves as Head of Commercial Insurance Austria & CEE and sits on the Zurich Austria Board.
Möller commented, “We’re delighted to bring Zurich’s industry-leading expertise and innovative solutions to clients across Central and Eastern Europe, starting with Poland.
“Our aim is to support local businesses by providing smart, reliable risk management that helps them seize new opportunities and grow confidently. We look forward to working together, helping the business thrive in a changing world.”
Zurich explained that it will be working closely together with Polish insurance brokers and operate as an insurer, co-insurer and reinsurer.
Luciano Cirinà, CEO Commercial Insurance International at Zurich Insurance, added that the firm’s entry into the commercial insurance business in Poland marks another strategic milestone.
Cirinà continued, “Poland, as one of the largest economies in Europe with a dynamically growing corporate sector, offers excellent opportunities. With our international expertise and many years of experience, we are creating real added value for Polish companies.”
Rafał Tokarz, who holds over 30 years of industry experience, has been appointed Head of Zurich Austria’s branch in Poland.
