AMBA Strengthens Its California Impact After Acquiring Pacific Group Agencies

AMBA Expands Its California Presence with a Strategic Acquisition

In a significant move to strengthen its foothold in California, AMBA, a leading name in affinity marketing and supplemental insurance solutions, announced the acquisition of Pacific Group Agencies, Inc. (PGA), an established full-service insurance brokerage located in Santa Clarita, California. This strategic acquisition is expected to bolster AMBA's ability to serve retired public employees more effectively, especially through its established relationships with various county employee associations, most notably the California Retired County Employees Association (CRCEA).

PGA brings with it decades of experience and a robust member base that includes access to over 280,000 individuals affiliated with various associations. Their product portfolio encompasses an array of essential offerings such as dental, vision, life, and prepaid legal insurance, along with health, travel, and pet benefits. This diverse range of products positions AMBA to enhance its service delivery to a critical segment of the public employee market in California.

Nick Taylor, the CEO of AMBA, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, "The acquisition of PGA significantly strengthens AMBA’s presence in the California public employee market. PGA's mission aligns perfectly with our core objectives, and together we shall work towards creating new distribution channels, including call centers and field sales operations. Our goal remains to provide top-tier service and benefits to public employees across the state."

The excitement surrounding this acquisition is echoed by PGA's founder, Stephen Pettee, who remarked, "AMBA is the ideal partner to take PGA's legacy to new heights. This collaboration not only expands our capabilities but also enhances the value we provide to our members and partner associations. We are eagerly looking forward to the future."

AMBA has a strong history of working with retired public employees and educators. Recently, it broadened its focus to include alumni, military personnel, and other professional sectors, establishing a widespread connection across various occupational categories. The company currently supports over 400 association clients nationwide and has experienced growth through a blend of strategic acquisitions and robust organic performance.

The acquisition of PGA follows AMBA’s successful integration of similar agencies, such as Professional Insurance Services, Inc. (PISI) in Pennsylvania and EJS Insurance Services in Auburn, California. This latest initiative underlines AMBA’s ongoing commitment to tailoring insurance solutions that cater to the needs of public servants throughout the country.
