History
Since its founding in 1965 in Boston, Massachusetts, Lexington Insurance Company has grown to become one of the strongest and most stable surplus lines insurers in the market today. Starting with four people and $3 million in gross written premium from its property-casualty business, Lexington was one of the first U.S. insurers formed to specialize in writing surplus lines coverage.
In 1971, Lexington expanded its global footprint with the establishment of a London office. In response to market conditions in 1986, Lexington’s growth continued with the formation of its Programs and Healthcare divisions. Expansion continued in 1993 with the establishment of Cat Excess Liability in Bermuda, again in response to market conditions in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew.
