Structure & History

Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty SE (AGCS SE) is a globally operating company registered in Munich, Germany, and is embedded in a network of various companies in Europe, North and South America, Asia Pacific and South Africa which reflect the global needs of our corporate and specialty insurance customers.

Allianz Group strategy is to serve these global needs by implementing global business structures within one segment. Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty therefore operates through a network of branch offices and local insurance companies within and outside the Allianz Group who cede business to AGCS SE.

This combination of AGCS offices, Allianz Group offices and selected network partners allows us to service clients wherever they do business in more than 200 countries.

The Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) brand was created in 2006 by merging the various Allianz companies operating under the Allianz Global Risks and Allianz Marine & Aviation brands into one global brand, focusing on large corporate and industrial client business, and on specialty business lines such as marine and aviation.

The predecessor companies of AGCS go back many years and in some cases to the earliest years of Allianz’s history in the 19th century – such as "Hanseatische Seeversicherungs-Gesellschaft" which was founded on July 28, 1885.

  • Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty SE, Munich - which also has a headquarter function for AGCS activities, with its branch offices in the UK, France, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Hong Kong, India (Reinsurance Branch), Italy, Korea, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and the Netherlands.
