We are an independent Austrian group of companies with subsidiaries in Central Europe. Under the freedom to provide services, we work within the European single market and act as a reinsurer throughout the world.
We offer insurance and financial services on a sound economic basis. Following on from the original founding idea, the range of services in our entire organisation has been developed according to individual, contemporary requirements.
"In the harmony of many lies the strength, which results in good. It is the task of every one to contribute to it."
Archduke Johann, 1846
Archduke Johann realised that people had to unite to be strong and established Grazer Wechselseitige in 1828 as a mutual insurance company to protect against fire damage. After nearly 200 years of activity, the founder’s original idea of mutual responsibility is as relevant today as ever: the only way to establish economic security is by taking the right precautions in good time.
