Aon acquires Mitsubishi Chemical's insurance agency business
The deal adds 100 new employees to Aon in Japan.
Aon plc has completed the acquisition of the in-house insurance agency business of Mitsubishi Chemical Group (MCG) as of 1 March.
The acquired business previously operated as part of Dia Rix, the in-house business services provider for MCG group companies.
“Aon will provide corporate and personal lines insurance to MCG group companies and employees in Japan,” a press release said.
The deal adds 100 new employees to Aon in Japan, bringing the total workforce in the country to over 400.
“This is a significant initiative in the industry, following the changes in the Japanese non-life insurance market which many Japanese companies are likely following closely,” Tatsuya Yamamoto, head of Aon Japan, said in the press release.
