Hilb Group Expands Mid-Atlantic Presence Through Acquisitions
Hilb Group Expands Mid-Atlantic Presence through Strategic Acquisitions
Effective January 1, 2026, Hilb Group has acquired a Pennsylvania-based firm specializing in property and casualty insurance. This strategic acquisition enhances the company's presence across the Mid-Atlantic, strengthening its services in both the commercial and personal P&C markets.
This move is part of Hilb Group's broader expansion strategy, supported by Carlyle, a notable player in the property/casualty and employee benefits brokerage industry. On the same date, Hilb Group concluded the acquisition of a full-service insurance agency in Virginia, further solidifying its market presence and expertise in employee benefits.
Previously, in November 2025, Hilb Group secured a New Jersey-based property and casualty firm, expanding its influence within the Tri-State area—a region recognized for its competitive insurance environment. This expansion underscores Hilb Group's commitment to scaling operations and providing comprehensive advisory and risk management solutions.
Streamlining Operations in Key Markets
Pennsylvania is a pivotal market for property and casualty insurance, characterized by a blend of national and regional carriers along with surplus lines for both personal and commercial sectors. The state's market is primarily served by independent agencies, which are increasingly attractive for consolidation by larger brokers seeking to offer specialized solutions in industries like construction, healthcare, and education.
The acquisitions in New Jersey, Virginia, and Pennsylvania illustrate Hilb Group's dedication to boosting its operational scale in the Eastern U.S. By partnering with locally-focused agencies, Hilb Group maintains regional relationships and identities while providing these agencies expanded carrier access, advanced analytics, and centralized support services.
Enhancing Service Capabilities and Market Access
The integration of the Pennsylvania agency into Hilb’s network will grant access to a broader array of markets, cutting-edge risk management tools, and expertise in employee benefits and specialty insurance. These strategic moves reinforce Hilb Group’s role as a proactive consolidator in the U.S. mid-market brokerage sector, particularly within the property and casualty lines.
Hilb Group’s expansions address the increased demand for advisory-led broking and comprehensive risk management solutions amid escalating competitive pressures, positioning the company as a leader in the insurance industry as it navigates complex regulatory compliance requirements.
