Alliant buys California firm to expand MGA division

California-based Alliant has acquired SES Insurance Brokerage Services to expand its managing general agent (MGA) division Alliant Specialty Insurance Services (ASIS).

The Santa Ana-based SES offers risk management, technology, and service solutions in finance and real estate.

Following the transaction, the executive leadership team of SES will continue to operate the company under its existing name, with its management and service teams in place.

"Joining forces with SES affirms our continued focus on partnering with innovative companies that have demonstrated leadership within the industries they serve," said Tom Corbett, chairman and CEO of Alliant.

"SES' proven combination of service, relationships, and technologies will provide a powerful advantage to Alliant as we continue to expand the reach and impact of our ASIS division."

Blair Schrum, CEO of SES, commented: "SES' success was built on our ability to provide products and services that challenge convention, using collaboration and innovation to drive game-changing results. ASIS, with its powerful distribution relationships and deep resources, will provide an ideal platform by which we can further solidify our reputation as difference makers for our clients and partners."
