ANV Expands Workers’ Compensation Platform with ASIA Acquisition…

Event summary

ANV Group Holdings Ltd. acquired Associated Specialty Insurance Agency LLC (ASIA), a wholesale commercial insurance agency specializing in workers’ compensation.
ASIA, founded in 1994, has over 30 years of experience and serves 600+ active brokers across the U.S.
The acquisition follows ANV’s purchase of Specialty Comp Insurance Solutions (SCIS) and complements its existing Risico business.

This move aligns with broader industry trends of consolidation among insurance intermediaries seeking scale and diversification. The combined platform now covers a wide range of specialty niches, positioning ANV as a key player in high-hazard sectors like construction, transportation, and agriculture.
