In 1972, The Commerce Group, Inc. was founded in the town of Webster, Massachusetts by a group of independent agents and investors. This group of people recognized the need to provide the independent agents of Massachusetts with a badly needed marketplace to insure their customers private passenger automobiles. From its modest beginnings, the company has grown to become the largest provider of private passenger automobile insurance in Massachusetts, insuring nearly one out of every four registered automobiles in the state. In addition, The Commerce Group, Inc. is the second leading provider of Homeowners insurance and fourth leading writer of Commercial Automobile insurance in Massachusetts. Today, Commerce Group, Inc. has more than $1.8 billion in assets, insures more than 750,000 people throughout Massachusetts and employs over 1,500 people. The company is conservatively managed to protect its financial stability and solvency. The net premium written to statutory surplus, a measure of financial solvency of an insurer, is extremely strong, another indication that Commerce will be there when you need us most.
