XL Group Acquires Global Ag Insurance in Western U.S.

XL Reinsurance America Inc., a subsidiary of XL Group plc, has acquired Global Ag Insurance Services, a crop insurance provider based in the Western United States.

The two companies initially partnered in 2011 to deliver crop insurance solutions to western specialty crop producers and growers through the USDA multi-peril crop insurance program. The two companies then built a specialized platform to offer an alternative to growers and agents in the Western United States.

XL Group plc’s reinsurance companies offer products that include aerospace, property/casualty, marine and specialty.
