Verlingue Strengthens Its Presence in Switzerland with ProConseils Solutions Acquisition
Verlingue, a prominent French insurance broker and a subsidiary of the Adelaïde Group, has recently announced a strategic acquisition aimed at reinforcing its footprint in the Swiss market. The company has acquired ProConseils Solutions, a major player in the Swiss insurance brokerage sector, particularly in the recognized French-speaking region of Switzerland. This acquisition aligns with Verlingue's strategy of expanding its operations across Europe while enhancing its service offerings.
Founded in 2003, ProConseils Solutions has carved a niche for itself in the insurance brokerage field through its tailored approach and commitment to client satisfaction. With a workforce of nearly 25 professionals operating from three offices in the Vaud canton, ProConseils Solutions services approximately 1,500 businesses, 150 local authorities, and 30 healthcare establishments. Such a substantial client base underscores the firm's reputation and established presence in the region.
This acquisition is a key component of Verlingue's 'Better Future 28' plan, which seeks to solidify its European presence by collaborating with local partners that share a common vision. The integration of ProConseils Solutions into Verlingue’s operations will not only broaden the range of services offered but also enhance the expertise available to serve clients more effectively.
Benjamin Verlingue, President and CEO of the Adelaïde Group, expressed enthusiasm over the acquisition, stating, "Acquiring ProConseils Solutions marks a pivotal milestone in our growth strategy across Europe. We share fundamental values with ProConseils Solutions, particularly in terms of customer proximity and service excellence. This collaboration will enrich our expertise and enable us to deliver solutions that are even more tailored to our clients' needs."
The co-founders of ProConseils Solutions, Alain Bornand and Joseph Gelsomino, also communicated their positive outlook regarding the integration. They stated, "Becoming part of Verlingue and the Adelaïde Group presents a genuine opportunity for us. It enables us to leverage the group's skills and scale, enhancing our ability to serve our clients while furthering our growth in Switzerland. We are excited to embark on this new chapter alongside our clients, partners, and employees."
Verlingue continues to prioritize risk management and employee protection as avenues for value creation and performance enhancement. The company is not only established in France and Switzerland but also operates across several countries, including Portugal, the United Kingdom, Italy, and many others through a partnership network covering over 100 nations. This robust service structure allows Verlingue to help its clients understand and anticipate new risks while crafting effective risk management and social protection solutions.
As Verlingue embarks on this new chapter with ProConseils Solutions, industry observers will be keenly watching how this strategic move will unfold in the competitive Swiss insurance landscape and what innovations may emerge from this exciting union.
