Zurich North America has expanded its consumer warranty offering for businesses interested in providing their customers with product protection for items they rely on every day, including homes, appliances and electronic devices. The expansion leverages Zurich’s large national footprint in North America, its reputation and 40 years of product warranty experience through its vehicle protection products.

A growing specialized team led by Todd Kaminski, a 29-year Zurich veteran, Zurich’s Warranty and Protection Solutions is working with retailers, distributors, original equipment manufacturers and administrators to develop protection solutions. These solutions include warranties, service and maintenance contracts, and contractual liability customized for a wide variety of consumer products.

We have found that administrators, retailers and manufacturers value having an experienced, customer-focused insurance carrier like Zurich to protect their investments and provide a more worry-free ownership experience for their consumers. We are poised to fill that need for them.” – Vince Santivasi, head of Direct Markets for Zurich North America.
