EPIC expands in Pacific Northwest with Century Group purchase

EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants has completed the acquisition of US-based Century Insurance Group, for an undisclosed sum.

The acquisition of Oregon-based Century will bolster EPIC’s Pacific Northwest presence.

Advised by Dowling Hales, the transaction was finalised in early July and is expected to expand EPIC’s regional footprint under the leadership of executive managing principal Mike Mastroni.

Century, known for its expertise in employee benefits and commercial and personal property and casualty (P&C) solutions, will now have access to EPIC’s resources.

This move is expected to optimise outcomes for Century’s clients, stated EPIC.

The integration will enable Century to leverage specialised services and technology-driven solutions, enhancing its ability to devise tailored strategies and address clients’ long-term goals through comprehensive risk management.  

EPIC assured its clients of continuity, with the existing Century team remaining in place.

Established in 1996, Century has a team of nearly 30 insurance professionals, led by principals Danny Duggan, Chris Intlekofer, Jason Epple, Chris Rosch, and Jeff Weichman.

Rosch said: “EPIC’s client-first approach and extensive resources made this partnership an easy choice.

“With EPIC’s support, we can continue our mission to be deeply ingrained in the challenges our clients face while leveraging expanded resources to help them manage risk and meet their needs. This exciting partnership provides our team with additional growth opportunities in the region.” 

EPIC West Region president KJ Wagner said: “The Century team has a decades-long track record of success, and we are thrilled to provide the tools to help them continue the momentum they have already established. We’re extremely optimistic about furthering EPIC’s growth strategy in the region and beyond.”
