Aon snaps up Swiss insurance broker Unidelta

Aon has acquired 100 percent interest in Switzerland-based insurance broker Unidelta AG, an independent all-line insurance broker with a strong focus on personal injury management.

Following the transaction, Peter Merkli, CEO and founder of Unidelta AG, will remain with the firm as managing director and will also be appointed to the management team of Aon Risk Solutions Switzerland. Rolf Kindhauser, broking director at Unidelta AG and all eight other colleagues will move across to Aon.

Aon stated that the acquisition is a part of its ongoing commitment to the Swiss market and its strategy of investing in order to address emerging client needs.

Felix Jenny, CEO of Aon Risk Solutions Switzerland, said: "With the acquisition of Unidelta AG, we are broadening our range of services to include professional management of personal injury, and at the same time expanding our geographical presence by adding Rapperswil. Strengthening our team in Switzerland as well as our geographic footprint will help us empower results and drive value on behalf of our clients."

Merkli commented: "As founder and CEO of Unidelta AG, I am delighted to be teaming up with a leading global firm such as Aon. Our clients will not only continue to benefit from the excellent service they are accustomed to, but we can now also offer them a wider variety of specialist solutions, as well as the global reach offered by Aon’s network worldwide."
