Company Description

The postman rings more than twice in Italy -- for letters and a whole lot more. While Poste Italiane, Italy's government-owned mail system, still provides traditional mail services via a network of about 14,000 post offices, as well as offers express delivery and logistics services through SDA Group, it also provides many other mail-related services. Poste Italiane offers insurance and pension products through Poste Vita, financial services (savings and loan products) through BancoPosta, and investment funds through BancoPosta Fondi. Other units include Postecom (Internet and intranet services), Poste Energia (electricity procurement), Postel (printing services), and PosteMobile (mobile phone services).

    $129

    Overview

    The US insurance agencies and brokerages industry includes about 135,000 establishments (single-location companies and branches of multi-location companies) with annual revenue of about $110 billion. Large companies include Marsh, Aon, Arthur J Gallagher, and State Farm. Despite the prominence of large companies in the commercial segment, the industry remains highly fragmented: the largest 50 firms only hold 20 percent of the total market. Many companies that primarily offer insurance products to businesses function mainly as brokers. Captive agencies operate as a sales agent for a single insurer, working on its behalf; independent brokers sell products from several providers.

      Overview
