Intact Financial Corporation announced Oct. 14 that it is officially bringing together its Canadian and U.S. specialty capabilities under a single brand: Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions.

The U.S. businesses had previously operated under the OneBeacon Insurance Group and The Guarantee Company of North America brands in the U.S., following the 2017 and 2019 acquisitions of these specialty companies.

In a statement, the property and casualty insurer said that unifying its specialty operations under one brand “represents the full integration of this growing segment of Intact's portfolio and its commitment to being a leader in the specialty lines marketplace.”

The combined Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions brand includes more than 20 specialty focus areas, including nine that serve both Canadian and U.S. customers.

"Our commitment to building a world class specialty insurance provider takes an important step forward today as we bring the Intact brand to the U.S.," said Charles Brindamour, Chief Executive Officer, Intact Financial Corporation. "We see strong future growth potential in our specialty lines business given our team's expertise and our robust solutions for Canadian, cross-border and U.S. customers and brokers."
