Associated Agencies, Inc.

Time. It is something we often run out of and, when we have it, it is never enough. At Associated Agencies, Inc. we realize that your time is one of your most valuable commodities. We don't want to waste it.

Since our agency's beginnings in 1890, we have invested time in evaluating, researching and designing insurance plans to meet the needs of our diverse client base. By carefully listening to our clients' voices and analyzing their specific industry, we are better prepared to recommend customized insurance programs which meet their needs. We take time to analyze each business. It is our experience that has shown us that shortcuts in formulating comprehensive insurance packages can only result in coverage gaps and inadequate protection.

Trust. Trust is the foundation for every insurance program that we present. Our longevity in the insurance business over the past 115 years has given us time to draw upon our experience, establish long-standing relationships with leading insurance carriers and develop unparalleled expertise. Three generations of Schrayers have continued to lead Associated Agencies, while demonstrating a daily commitment to excellent service. Our dedicated professionals have been with the agency for decades and this consistency is reflected in the way we do business…no surprises and no unfulfilled commitments. At Associated, you have direct access to our principals and their respective account teams. Your trust in our expertise saves you time and money in searching for the right solution.

Knowledge. Keeping pace with a dynamic marketplace and a fluctuating economy is essential to maintaining knowledge about current insurance programs. Our knowledge about various insurance plans spans a broad client base which includes manufacturing companies, retail operations, professional service providers, municipalities, hospitals and others.

As one of the top privately-held insurance agencies in the Midwest, we have a strong presence in the property/casualty and employee benefits marketplace.  Our proven track record enables us to anticipate changes and determine new directions.  We have seen how the market fluctuates and we have experienced its unpredictability as it relates to risk management insurance.

Our commercial lines, property/casualty division focuses on reinventing and managing loss.  We identify exposures and decide on a course of action that eliminates, reduces or insures loss.  We are experienced in handling all lines of coverage from the basic insurance program to the complex program with professional liability needs.

Employee benefit programs are constantly changing, requiring steady monitoring of the latest, most cost effective programs. Associated Agencies can save you time and money by helping you form the ideal combination of plans for your employees. Medical, dental, vision, life and AD & D plans, along with short and long term disability, are some of the key components that make up the employee benefits programs we represent. Our expertise in web page design and on-line enrollment incorporates the latest computer technology into your employee benefit plan.

It is this expertise and diversity in commercial insurance that has also landed us a leading role in the resale and wholesale jewelry market.

Our staff maintains close connections with security alarm companies and the Jewelers Security Alliance, which assist us in guiding our clients in upholding the highest safety standards.
