Catlin Europe SE with significantly extended network for international programmes

Cologne (ots) - The European subsidiary of the Catlin Group is
pleased to announce a new partnership with Globex International which
will enable it to offer its customers additional insurance cover in
more than 150 countries. As a result of this strategic partnership,
the global options now far exceed those provided solely by Catlin's
own network of more than 50 offices in 22 countries.

Insurers of international industrial companies often face the
challenge of providing insurance cover for the entire company from a
single source even when they don?t have branches in all relevant
countries. In such cases they generally make use of local insurance
companies, so-called fronting partners. Given the different
compliance requirements in the different markets where the branches
are located, meeting all customer needs through standard solutions is
generally not possible. Here, flexible, individual solutions are
called for.

"With Globex International we have gained a network partner who
further increases our flexibility in the management of international
programmes around the globe", says Ralf Tillenburg, CEO of Catlin
Europe SE.

The service provider specialising in administration and
organisation will help Catlin Europe to become a leading provider of
international insurance programmes especially in those market
segments that are less attractive to the major insurance companies
due to the size of the companies to be insured or the complexity of
the individual risks.

"By partnering with Globex, we expand our own specific network
significantly. Thus, we are able to offer our customers local
alternatives according to their specific needs to provide optimum
insurance cover," according to Ralf Tillenburg.

Catlin Europe was set up ten years ago in Cologne with the
underwriting of direct insurance risks in continental Europe. The
company now has 16 offices in eleven countries. In 2013 the Catlin
Group underwrote gross premiums of 5.3 billion USD.
