Talanx AG
Company Profile
Business description
Talanx is the third-largest insurer in Germany. It sells insurance to businesses, individuals, and reinsures other insurers. The origins of Talanx go back to the early 1900s and the founding of two mutuals in Germany, HDI and FSV, that were set up to provide liability insurance to the German iron and steel industry and fire insurance to the German mining industry as a result of a growing dissatisfaction with insurance providers. These two mutuals merged to form Halfplichtverband der Deutschen Industrie, or HDI, in 1970. And over the years, companies outside of metals and mining have joined the mutual. HDI started providing reinsurance services in the mid-1920s and individual insurance in the 1950s. HDI owns just over three-quarters of the Talanx share capital.
