The company was founded in Hungary in 1905 by timber merchant Max von Engels, who saw the need for simplified luggage insurance. After the success in his home country, he traveled around Europe to promote his business idea, and at the end of 1920 the company was started in Sweden. Today, Europeiska ERV is one of the largest players in Europe when it comes to travel insurance. The 100th anniversary is being celebrated with, among other things, an anniversary logo that will appear in their marketing during the year, as well as a website with both retrospectives and information on how to work for the future. Over the years, Europeiska ERV has constantly developed its products to meet the needs of the market. For example, the company was the first to launch an all-risk insurance for goods and luggage in 1937. During the 1980s, they were the first again – then to launch an Aviation Accident Insurance. Developing and being at the forefront of their insurance products has been a contributing factor to the business's continued success after a century in the industry. The new Travel Security Hotline service, which is offered to customers with Expatriate Insurance or Business Travel Insurance, is their latest initiative. - We are of course very proud of the trust we have received from our customers over so many years, which has made us, and continues to be, a leading player in travel insurance. Looking ahead, we see new possible insurance products to expand our portfolio and new interesting collaborations. Our main focus is of course to ensure that our insurance policies - new and existing - continue to meet the policyholders' expectations of safe travel. Something that has become increasingly important in the current situation, says Andreas Sandin, Country Manager & Nordic CSO.
