ARQIS advised Aon Versicherungsmakler Deutschland GmbH on the acquisition of Karl Köllner GmbH Versicherungsmakler and Karl Köllner GmbH & Co KG Marine Insurance Brokers. Aon thus continues its growth and further expands its portfolio in the shipping, transport and logistics sector.

Karl Köllner, an insurance broker headquartered in Hamburg, serves major key accounts in traditional lines such as property and has outstanding expertise in marine cargo and hull. “Aon and Karl Köllner will complement each other very well,” comments Kai Büchter, CEO Aon D-A-CH. “On the one hand, there is a broker with first-class industry expertise and, on the other hand, a major broker with a broad product range and international network. Our customers will benefit from this merger.”

The ARQIS team led by Jörn-Christian Schulze acts for Aon regularly, at the latest on the acquisition of TRIUM GmbH Insurance Broker, a broker specializing in risk management in the real estate sector.
