Aviva Canada reveals huge cross-border deal with The Hartford

Aviva Canada has today announced a huge cross-border deal with leading US insurer, The Hartford. Under the new strategic partnership, Aviva Canada’s small & medium enterprise (SME) and large commercial insurance brokers and clients will gain access to The Hartford’s operations, assets and service capabilities in the US. John Mattioli, executive director, Global Corporate & Specialty at Aviva Canada, commented: “For us, being competitive in commercial lines means being where our customers are, and with hundreds of billions of bilateral trade conducted annually between Canada and the United States, this partnership allows us to provide a range of solutions for our customers’ exposures south of the border.” Mattioli described The Hartford as “the ideal partner” in Aviva Canada’s next phase of growth because the two insurance firms share similar values and have many years of industry experience.
