ENCON rebrands to Victor Canada
ENCON Group, a managing general agent in Canada, and a Victor company, has rebranded to Victor Canada. The announcement follows the larger global unification and rebrand of The Schinnerer Group to Victor Insurance Holdings announced in 2018.
Victor Canada works with independent brokers and advisors, and a large pool of A-rated carriers to offer a unique range of products and programs across Canada in professional liability, property, casualty, and group and retiree benefits. Formed over 50 years ago, it has locations in Ottawa, Mississauga, and Edmonton, and more than 250 employees.
“By combining our business under a single brand and leveraging our data, technology and capital capabilities across Victor, we will be even better positioned to offer innovative solutions to agents, brokers, insureds, and carriers,” said David Cook, President of Victor Canada.
The MGA recently launched V Squared (V2) and V Plus (V+), two advanced technology platforms designed to streamline the insurance-buying process for brokers and individual clients.
Brian Hanuschak, President of Victor North America added: “This is an exciting time for our businesses in North America, and marks an important step in Victor’s future growth as a global MGA/MGU. Operating under a unified, global Victor brand enables us to build upon Victor Canada’s considerable strength in the marketplace through strategic product and digital enhancements.”
Since Victor Insurance Holdings launched in June 2018, the brand has been rolled out in Italy, the Netherlands, UK and Germany. Victor O. Schinnerer & Company, Inc., Victor Canada’s US counterpart, will rebrand later this year.
