New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Celebrates 100 Years

There are not many companies that can boast reaching their centenary. Recently, New Jersey’s largest insurer, in terms of market share according to SNL, New Jersey Manufactures Insurance Company reached that milestone. NJM says today it is the largest writer of both auto insurance and workers’ compensation in the state and, as a mutual insurer, it has never wavered in its mission—to serve the needs of policyholders. “That single-minded focus reflects the culture of our organization and remains as strong today as ever before,” said President and CEO Bernie Flynn.

The company says faces have changed, buildings have modernized, and computers have replaced typewriters and ledgers, but NJM’s focus is still workers’ compensation, auto and homeowners insurance in New Jersey, with an emphasis on safety, sound underwriting and cost controls. The benefit is a total of $5.4 billion in dividends to policyholders over 100 years.
