“This acquisition marks a major turning point in our nationwide growth, and comes at a particularly symbolic time, as we celebrate our UV Insurance’s 135th anniversary,” says Christian Mercier, President and CEO of UV Insurance. Under his nine-year leadership, the mutual insurance company—founded in Drummondville in 1889—has undergone significant growth, fueled by a major technological transformation that has made UV Insurance an agile industry leader. ”In recent years, our investments in technology have become a true growth driver, enabling us to improve our services, and seamlessly integrate new blocks of business with minimal additional costs. This will remain a key strategic focus in the years ahead,” adds M. Mercier.

The transition of the closed block of contracts from BMO Insurance to UV Insurance will take place gradually over the coming months, ensuring a smooth experience and high-quality service for all concerned. Contract owners will join UV Insurance, further strengthening its mutualist values and reinforcing its commitment to community-driven sustainability.
