Berkley International LatinoAmerica

Our Mission

Our goal is to become the most reliable and dependable provider of insurance products and services in Argentina. Our entrepreneurial spirit allows us the creativity to innovate, and the flexibility to anticipate and respond to market opportunities.

Company Description

Berkley International Latinoamérica (BILSA), through its operating companies, Berkley International Seguros (BIS) and Berkley International ART (BIART), offers a wide variety of property, liability, surety, group life and related lines, and workers’ compensation insurance products and services designed to meet the needs of individuals and businesses.

Our multi-regional organizational concept, with its decentralized structure of autonomous regional units, has allowed us to successfully understand and respond to local market needs, trends and opportunities. Berkley International Seguros provides property and liability insurance and surety, group life and related products, while workers’ compensation coverage and services are provided through Berkley International ART.

How Berkley International Seguros and Berkley International ART Are Different

Our business philosophy is one of continuous innovation, introducing new products and services that exceed our customers’ highest expectations. We rely on flexible administrative structures and advanced technological systems to provide the highest quality marketing and underwriting functions. This is combined with a service-oriented claims management and resolution approach that is as close to the clients as possible.

Accountability We encourage our employees to take initiative in providing the highest quality care and service to our customers. We focus on the needs of our customers, agents, representatives, and suppliers.

People-Oriented Strategy Due to our flexible operating structure, we are able to personalize local business contacts and focus on quality of service and risk management. We combine the resources and skills of a large corporation with the agility and flexibility of a small company. We believe our success is due to understanding the insurance needs of our customers and our close contact with them..

Responsible Financial Practices Although we have had rapid growth, we have sustained a healthy financial position that provides us with flexibility and support. This sound financial position is reflected in our AA rating given by Fitch Ratings Argentina in December 2010, which has reported that our “capacity for timely payment of claims is very solid within the country.”
