ECM Insurance Group, founded in Bedford County in 1913, continues to expand its footprint across the nation.

ECM recently acquired a Missouri-based farmowners insurance company, Citizens Mutual, one of five companies operated as Columbia Insurance Group.

The acquisition will represent a material increase in premiums for ECM, according to Randy Shaw, president and CEO of ECM.

“By combining ECM’s farmowner products with CIG’s market relationships, we anticipate strong growth that complements our core business strategy.  CIG’s farmowner business will allow ECM to expand into six new states,” Shaw stated.

With its national headquarters located in Bedford County, ECM provides state of the art products and technology to support its 10- state marketing territory.  The regional property/casualty mutual insurer, based om Everett, focuses on the farm and agri-business sector.
