About us
Since our beginning in 1876, Central Insurance has evolved into a successful property and casualty group operating on a strong foundation of core values including Integrity in the way we operate our business; Relationships we develop working as a team and sharing in each others’ successes; and Excellence achieved by never compromising on quality, providing superior performance, and pursuing continual improvements. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our combined assets totaling over $1 billion and our A.M. Best rating of "A" Excellent. Central's companion stock company, All America Insurance Company, was established in April 1961 as an answer to the competitive pressures created by companies deviating from manual rates. Today, All America is a wholly-owned stock affiliate.
