TrueNorth Acquires Meeker-Magner Company
(Cedar Rapids, Iowa, January 2016) - Representatives from TrueNorth and Meeker-Magner Company announced this week that Meeker-Magner will be joining TrueNorth
As one of Illinois' longest running insurance agencies, Meeker-Magner has established a strong reputation for trust, expertise and creative solutions. "Our partnership with TrueNorth will allow us to further enhance our creative solutions and provide the advantage of added resources dedicated to the success of our clients' business and protection of their assets," said Gerry Magner, President of Meeker-Magner. Moving forward, both Gerry and his son Rusty will remain active in the agency.
With 12 offices in 7 states, TrueNorth ranks as the 50th largest privately owned brokerage in the United States. "As we continue to broaden our national footprint, our intention is to expand the TrueNorth presence within the state of Illinois, by using the Des Plaines location as a flagship office from which to grow. The 100+ year reputation that Meeker-Magner has established in the Chicagoland area is a very strong foundation for the combined organizations to continue to grow on," said Duane Smith, CEO of TrueNorth.
As a continued focus of TrueNorth, growth and strategy via acquisition will lead to future buy-outs throughout the United States.
