Alliant Expands Inland Northwest Presence with Acquisition of Kassa

Alliant Insurance Services, the nation's largest specialty insurance brokerage firm, has acquired Kassa Insurance Services, Inc., a Spokane, Wash.-based insurance agency providing personal lines and commercial insurance products and services to clients throughout the Inland Northwest. This marks Alliant's second acquisition within the region in six months as part of an ongoing expansion strategy.

"Kassa has a sound reputation for combining exceptional service with an intimate understanding of the Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho markets," said Sean McConlogue, President of Alliant Americas. "This partnership reflects our commitment to acquiring regional, likeminded organizations with a proven track record of success serving the Inland Northwest business community."

Since 1985, Kassa has provided customized personal lines and commrcial insurance solutions to clients throughout Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. In addition to providing a breadth of coverages that includes property, casualty, fleet, management liability, and cyber risk, Kassa deploys some of the region's most sophisticated integrated claims handling systems.

Kassa will operate as part of Alliant Americas, which was launched in January 2014 to expand the company's presence in the middle market through strategic acquisitions and investments. Alliant Americas provides midsized businesses with targeted insurance products and services through a dedicated national platform.

In September 2014, Alliant acquired Moloney O'Neill, a diversified insurance brokerage firm providing property and casualty, employee benefits, and life products and services from its offices in Spokane, Wash. and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

Kassa's business will be managed via Alliant's Spokane office. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
