XL Catlin's North America construction business has reached $1 billion in construction insurance premium.

“At a time when the construction industry was struggling from an economic downturn, XL Catlin made an investment in developing a dedicated construction business focused on providing the effective risk management guidance, services, and insurance products to contractors when they needed it most,” said Gary Kaplan, XL Catlin's North America construction leader. “Now, with commercial construction activity rebounding, we're equipped with the insurance industry's most astute construction risk management team and construction insurance product portfolio to help our construction clients maintain their forward momentum.

“Since the beginning, we've focused on building long-term relationships with contractors, clearly understanding their changing business needs and providing them with products and services that help them protect their profitability, maintain a competitive edge and improve safety on the jobsite,” added Mr. Kaplan. “Our clients' business success is what drives our business success.”
