XL Catlin's North America Construction Business Reaches USD 2 Billion 色多多视频 Premium Milestone
New York - July 17, 2017
XL Catlin鈥檚 North America Construction business has reached a significant milestone 鈥 celebrating its seventh year in operation and achieving USD 2 billion in gross written insurance premium.
According to Gary Kaplan, XL Catlin鈥檚 North America Construction Leader, 鈥淚n 2010, at a time when the construction industry was struggling from an economic downturn, XL Catlin invested in building a dedicated insurance business focused on delivering the effective risk management guidance, services and insurance products to North America鈥檚 top contractors when they needed it most. Now, with commercial construction activity in full swing, our clients are clearly seeing the benefits in working with the market鈥檚 experienced construction risk management team to help maintain their forward momentum. Our significant premium climb 鈥 doubling our GWP in just about 18 months 鈥 is proof.鈥
The construction industry saw more than USD 1.7 trillion in revenue in 2016 with more than 729,000 construction companies employing over 7.3 million people, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics. And the good news is that the industry has emerged out of its recent slump and is showing continued signs of growth. A recent Dodge Data & Analytics survey predicts a 5 percent growth in construction start-ups in 2017.
鈥淐onstruction risks are complex and very few insurance carriers have the ability to comprehensively address these risks. But I鈥檓 proud to say that we do,鈥 said Mr. Kaplan. 鈥淥ur success in such a short period of time hinges on this team鈥檚 ability to build long-term relationships with contractors, clearly understanding their changing business needs and issues they face and providing them with products and services that help them protect their profitability, maintain a competitive edge and improve safety on the jobsite.鈥
