In researching insurance coverage for your business, consider this:

Rate Stability

Affinity Mutual Insurance Company has provided insurance protection under the mutual concept since its inception. Our goal is to provide you with consistent, affordable and fair pricing.

Financial Stability

Formed in 1934, Affinity Mutual Insurance Company has always been a conservative company. This has allowed us to build a strong balance sheet that compares very favorably with the leading property and casualty insurance companies in the United States.

Reinsurance Program

Affinity Mutual Insurance Company combines careful risk selection with a well-structured reinsurance program. Prudent levels of reinsurance are purchased from quality reinsurers to guard against potential financial impacts from storms or other catastrophes.

Company History

In the fall of 1934, a number of local mill and elevator operators met in Wapakoneta, Ohio to discuss founding a mutual insurance company. “Mutuals” were originated as a means for people with similar businesses to band together and combat high premiums or inadequate insurance coverages. In our case, these similar businesses consisted of grain elevators and feed or flour mills.

The Northwestern Ohio Mutual Protective Assessment Insurance Association of Wapakoneta, Ohio began providing insurance services in the spring of 1935. Over time, we’ve grown and changed with the times, but we’ve continuously maintained a mutual insurance philosophy. This specialization has enabled us to become thoroughly aware of your business’ insurance needs.
