Alliant acquires Pend Oreille Insurance

California-based Alliant has acquired Idaho’s Pend Oreille Insurance as part of its expansion strategy in the greater Northwest in both property and casualty and employee benefits.

Pend Oreille provides a broad array of regionally focused insurance solutions in Idaho, Montana, California, Arizona, Colorado, and Washington State. Its product offerings include commercial insurance, personal insurance, and health and life insurance services.

The deal will see Pend Oreille's entire team, including co-owners Stefanie Nostdahl and Jodie Corless, join Alliant and continue serving clients nationwide from its Ponderay, ID offices.

“The Pend Oreille name has long been synonymous with strong service, local expertise, and strong dedication to providing a customized, personal touch,” said Tom Corbett, chairman and CEO of Alliant. “The firm’s proven strength across markets will provide an additional layer of strength to our team in the Inland Northwest, further expanding our footprint in the region.”

Nostdahl commented: “The Pend Oreille promise is centered upon providing a highly personal approach to serving each of our clients, making the insurance process as simple and cost-effective as possible. Joining Alliant furthers this promise.”

Corless added: "Alliant’s proven history of success here in Idaho, combined with its deep pool of national resources, will play an integral role in our ongoing growth, enabling us to provide an even higher level of service and expertise to our client base.”
