Optio acquires Norwegian aquaculture MGA Safe Forsikring

Optio Group has acquired Safe Forsikring, a Norwegian specialty MGA focused on aquaculture, for an undisclosed sum.

Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Oslo, Safe underwrites aquaculture, offshore energy and marine risks through delegated binding authorities. The business serves operators in Norway and internationally.

Safe will join Optio’s Norwegian platform alongside S Insurance and AGS Forsikring, expanding the group’s Nordic presence and adding specialist aquaculture underwriting capabilities.

Co-founders Thore Amundsen and Espen Stange will continue leading the business. Amundsen said the deal will give Safe additional resources and broader market access.
