Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty

In focus

Dedicated to serving the specific needs of corporate and specialty insurance customers, within the UK and internationally, Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty provides insurance and risk management consultancy across the whole spectrum of Marine, Aviation and corporate business, including Energy, Engineering, Financial Lines (incl. D&O), Liability and Property insurance. Our clients range from small businesses, yachts and private aircrafts to the largest “blue water” shipping fleets and Fortune 500 corporations.

We can offer our clients an enlarged portfolio of complementary services, ranging from specific specialist covers to comprehensive international master programmes if required – backed with the security you would expect from Allianz.

Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty is coordinated via six global underwriting hubs in the UK, Germany, Asia Pacific, North America, France and 'Euro 8' (Rest of Europe). To complement our own service portfolio, we join forces with other specialist Allianz units such as Euler Hermes and Dresdner Kleinwort, thus enabling us to develop innovative, tailor-made risk management solutions for corporations.

We employ experts in our specialist fields: from lawyers and pilots to Master Mariners and risk surveyors. We provide this cover for our international and domestic customers from our offices across Europe, as well as in North America and the Far East – all of which are fully integrated into the Allianz group of companies, with access to their worldwide network of representatives.

So wherever and however you need to call on our support, we can deliver it.
