March, 2004 – The Economical Insurance Group announced today that the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions has approved the amalgamation of Langdon Insurance and Economical Insurance. The amalgamation is retroactive to January 1, 2004.
In late 2003, The Group finalized the establishment of its Commercial Centre in Toronto. This Centre handles most of the mid-market and complex commercial insurance business Langdon originally handled.
