TMM’s inland marine team has underwriters in New York, Atlanta and San Francisco with expansion plans to other cities later in 2016. TMM already has an internal support system of claims and loss control, which was carefully developed over decades.

Careful selection of partners allows TMM to deliver intensive service as a key differentiator in the marketplace.
“Even as part of a 130 year old global insurance giant, we have a flat organizational structure that allows us to be nimble and responsive. We have power at the point of sale, deep specialization, a diverse appetite and a desire to focus on a handful of retail agents who value that combination.” said Rich Soja.
