DARAG makes first Luxembourg company acquisition

DARAG Group has acquired Arisa Assurances, an automobile and travel insurance company based in Luxembourg.

This transaction will be conducted through DARAG’s German risk carrier, DARAG Deutsche Versicherungs- und Rückversicherungs-AG, and is subject to regulatory approvals.

Arisa is a subsidiary of ADAC Versicherung AG, belonging to ADAC SE, a public company limited by shares under EU law offering mobility-oriented services and products.

The transaction will be DARAG’s first company acquisition in Luxembourg. It will provide ADAC Versicherung AG with legal, operational and economic finality in regard to Arisa as it focuses on its core business.

Tom Booth, CEO of DARAG, said: “DARAG’s presence and expertise in the German-speaking markets [are] already unrivalled and we have been growing our business here significantly in the past few years. Arisa will be our first acquisition in Luxembourg and demonstrates our firm commitment to clients in the region.”

He continued: “The deal provides legal and economic finality to ADAC Versicherung AG, secure in the knowledge that insureds will be looked after by a carrier with an outstanding reputation in Europe.”

“ADAC Versicherung AG [has] been relentlessly professional throughout the process and it was a pleasure working with the team. We are very pleased to announce this transaction and we look forward to expanding our footprint in continental Europe and all our global markets in the coming months and years,” he added.
