VIG Re opens Paris office in European expansion
Czech Republic-based reinsurer VIG Re has opened a new branch office in Paris to further strengthen its presence in Continental Europe.
The new office will be led by Patrick Chevrel and will serve VIG Re’s clients in France, Benelux and Iberia and offer reinsurance solutions for property and casualty business lines.
“The opening of the Branch represents another important step in the execution of VIG Re’s strategy which is based on the fundamentals of a consistent underwriting policy, superior financial strength and mutual partnership,” said Johannes Martin Hartmann, VIG Re’s chairman of the board of directors.
“The local presence will further enhance the value proposition to our clients,” Hartmann added.
Peter Thirring, chairman of the supervisory board of VIG Re added: “Strengthening the third-party business in Western European markets, is part of the strategy of VIG Re. After the successful opening of the branch in Germany one year ago, the branch in Paris was the next planned step, which is now fulfilled.”
