MAPFRE’s History in the United States
MAPFRE began to expand in the United States with the purchase of Western Pioneer Insurance Company in California which was later renamed Commerce West in 1995.
Four years later, MAPFRE acquired the Automobile Club Insurance Company out of Columbus, Ohio, in a joint venture with AAA. After expanding its coverage into other states, the company was rebranded to the American Commerce Insurance Company.
The company expanded into New Hampshire in 2001 and then into New York in 2007 by purchasing SWICO Enterprises.
In 2008, MAPFRE acquired Massachusetts-based The Commerce Group Inc., better known as the Commerce Insurance Company, which was founded in Webster in 1972. The company, which is still headquartered there today, was renamed MAPFRE U.S.A. Corp. in 2010 and since then, all the companies have been rebranded as MAPFRE USA.
In 2021, Century Automotive Service Corporation was acquired by MAPFRE Insurance. Century Automotive Service Corporation provides drivers, dealers, and agents with a comprehensive suite of innovative products designed to protect vehicles and offer peace of mind to customers nationwide.
