SIC 61-64, 67 back to Core Industries
One of our core industry clusters is that of Insurance and Financial services. Our region has over 100 years of insurance history and expertise. The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (now Lincoln Financial Group) was founded in Fort Wayne in 1905 and maintains a major presence to this day. The region is also home to the corporate headquarters of American Specialty and K&K Insurance, the premier providers of sports, leisure and entertainment insurance products.
These companies, along with others such as Medical Protective, a leading medical liability provider, have found our region to be ideal for success and growth. Our proximity to Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis and Columbus, our talented and available workforce, along with Verizon’s comprehensive fiber optic infrastructure, make the region an ideal location for insurance and financial service companies.
We have several of the top pension plan administrators and consultants in the region. All-in-all, there are over 10,000 people employed in this industry in Northeast Indiana.
