A major international brokerage, the Insurance Brokers Association (IBA), has formed a strategic alliance with North America-based RiskProNet International (RPNI).
The alliance will significantly boost IBA's presence in the US. For RPNI it will provide global servicing capabilities for its international clients.
The alliance represents 57 member companies in 100 countries worldwide providing risk management, broking and employee benefits services.
The chairman of the IBA board, Jurgen Schlensog, commented: "The alliance is clear confirmation that independent networks are stronger and developing faster than ever, an indication of the importance that international clients attach to the values we stand for."
