Wrightway is a specialist provider of niche solutions in general insurance with revenues of Euro 25.5 million (U.S. $35 million at the current exchange rate) in 2006.

The Zurich, Switzerland-based insurer said the existing management team at Wrightway will continue development activities in their chosen markets. Wrightway has a strong focus in the private and commercial vehicle insurance sector as well as property- and construction-related markets.
