Boston-based Liberty Mutual Agency Markets said it has a new Specialty Products Group created by consolidating the product lines of Liberty Mutual Surety, the former Ohio Casualty Bond and other specialty lines.

The company said the Specialty Products Group is comprised of three operating units: Liberty Agency Underwriters-Bond (LAU Bond), Liberty Agency Underwriters- Excess Casualty and Programs, and the Business Development Group.

These units, the firm said, manage and underwrite product lines that typically fall outside the standard range of property and casualty products underwritten by Agency Markets' eight regional companies.

Liberty Mutual Group, after the Aug. 24, 2007 acquisition of Ohio Casualty Corp., announced that John Busby was appointed senior vice president, Agency Markets, and chief operating officer, Specialty Products Group.

“The creation of the Specialty Products Group gives our agents a broader product line, a wider customer base and access to the expertise necessary to write these specialty lines,” said Mr. Busby. “This new operation reinforces Agency Markets' position as the nation's largest regional provider of property and casualty products distributed through independent agents.”
