Additionally, it will aid the Group in launching new initiatives in the fields of health and wellness, business travel assistance, voluntary EB, and pensions.
Generali Global Business Lines and International CEO, Frederic de Courtois, said the launch of the new branch was another important step towards strengthening the Group’s standing in the EB market.
He added: “We will be more effective in facing the challenges posed by the market and we will reinforce our capacity to serve our clients.”
Sergio di Caro, CEO at Generali EB, stated: “The opening of the new branch of Generali in Luxembourg, solely dedicated to EB, highlights the strategic importance of this line of business for the Group.”
“This forms part of a wider development plan aiming at strengthening our leading position in the international EB market and improving the service to our customers.”
