Insurance Specialty Group LLC Acquires Wastepac

March 12, 2009

Insurance Specialty Group LLC has acquired Wastepac, a provider of insurance coverage to the waste hauling and sanitation industry.

“Acquiring Wastepac’s expertise in this highly-specialized niche market gives ISG added coverage lines to offer to its over 4000 retail clients nationwide. It will greatly complement the lines we already provide our customers,” said ISG CEO Bruce Harrell.

With more than 35 years of experience in the waste hauling industry, the Wastepac team will now offer commercial auto liability, general liability, property, umbrella liability, surety bonds and pollution and contamination coverage to the waste hauling and sanitation industries. Wastepac will continue to operate as a risk purchasing group under its own brand as part of Insurance Specialty Group.

Lee Orabona, president of the ISG Underwriting Division, will head the operation located in Port Jefferson, N.Y.

Formed in 2003, ISG is a national insurance brokerage and underwriting firm headquartered in Atlanta.
