The National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors, representing more than 40,000 wholesale-distribution companies across the US, has selected The Hartford Financial Services Group as its endorsed provider of commercial property-casualty insurance.

Hartford offers industry-specific underwriting expertise and coverages to meet the insurance needs of companies in the wholesale distribution industry. In addition to providing core commercial insurance coverages, which include property, liability, commercial auto and workers’ compensation insurance, Hartford offers expedited claims handling services and a US-wide network of loss control and risk management experts to help wholesaler-distributors protect their businesses and minimize loss costs.

As part of their strategic alliance, The National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors (NAW) and Hartford will team up to promote the insurer’s products to wholesale-distribution companies, which will involve utilizing Hartford’s pan-US network of independent agents. NAW will also promote the alliance through its many member associations and its members will be able to access Hartford’s program through NAW’s website.

We want to be wholesaler-distributors’ top choice for commercial insurance, said Judy Blades, senior executive vice president of Hartford’s property-casualty operations. We’ll be working closely with NAW to offer wholesaler-distributors comprehensive insurance coverages tailored to their size and scope.
