Mastering global challenges
Since Munich Re was founded over 130 years ago, our goal has been to identify tomorrow’s risks and make the future insurable. And so we are geared to profitable, long-term growth and develop new, tailored products and solutions. This is very much appreciated by our clients, as shown by the latest (Flaspöhler, 2010) reinsurance survey, in which Munich Re was once more voted best reinsurer in Europe.
As reinsurers we insure insurance companies, for example by assuming risks such as major man-made and natural-catastrophe losses. As well as conventional reinsurance cover we also provide innovative insurance solutions and wide-ranging services, visionary » public-private partnerships and complex risk solutions. Our international and interdisciplinary approach produces ideas and concepts that make tomorrow’s world insurable.
