ARAG in Italy

Milestones

Incorporation
In 1963, ARAG founded “SIRA Srl,” an insurance agency which has been reincorporated as a joint-stock company under the name “ARAG Assicurazioni Automobilistici e Generali S.p.A.” The firm was later granted a permit to operate as an insurer. Corporate headquarters were moved to Verona in 1965 – in response to the high percentage of German citizens in that area and the rising demand for legal insurance in the fields of tourism and business.


Growth and development
ARAG Italy has achieved strong growth since 1990 and is now one of the largest international units within the ARAG Group. In December 2012, it has become a branch of ARAG SE. ARAG Italy collaborates with various Italian insurers and is the market leader in the legal insurance segment. In both cooperations and direct sales, it relies above all on individual, tailor-made insurance solutions, innovative products and services to meet the rising demand for legal protection insurance in Italy.
