Who We Are
Our Electric Roots
If you’re wondering how we got our name, you’re not alone. How does a company that sells auto, homeowners, condo, renters, umbrella, and special lines insurance end up with “Electric” in its name?
Well, if you guessed it has something to do with one of the world’s largest and most respected companies, you’re correct. The Electric Insurance name comes from GE, as in General Electric, and that’s where our story begins.
Back in 1927, our former parent company, EMLICO, was formed to provide GE with Workers’ Compensation insurance in Massachusetts. By the 1950’s, it was doing such a great job that it began providing coverage nationally for GE. At the same time, EMLICO expanded its product offering to include general liability and commercial auto.
And So It Begins
By the early 1960’s, GE employees were looking for insurance products of their own to cover their auto and home. Enter, Electric Insurance. Incorporated in 1966 as a Massachusetts property and casualty insurer, we began offering auto and home insurance to these same GE employees.
GE Spreads the Word
Our GE employee customers have played a major role in our continued success. Once they experienced our incredible customer service first-hand, they quickly told their family and friends to check us out. As you can imagine, there was an incredible domino effect. Today, we remain intensely loyal to our GE customers but also offer our products to general consumers who rave about our personalized, no hassle approach to insurance. A quick look at our customer base will tell you that today our policyholder population is about 60% GE and 40% general customers.

We do this by making sure each and every one of our employees understands and practices our core values. At Electric Insurance, it’s truly about you, our customer. Just talk to any our representatives and you’ll see that we’re here for you, no matter what your insurance need.

The Numbers and Other Stuff Too
