Achmea History

Achmea Australia is part of the Achmea Group which was established more than 200 years ago when 39 farmers put money into a glass jar, to be compensated in case one of them had a ‘Hooibroei’, a haystack fire.

Those 39 farmers, 200 years ago, supported each other and worked together to minimise the risks and threats faced by each other’s farms, not just their own.

Their commitment to a co-operative approach to insurance remains alive and well in Achmea today. Through its brands, the Achmea Group has supported the Netherlands in becoming the world’s second largest agricultural exporter.

Achmea’s strong growth shows that as an insurer, we are actively responding to changes in societies and client’s expectations, whilst cherishing our co-operative heritage and adhering to the same co-operative principles we started with that we can achieve more by working together.
