Minneapolis, MN, September 2014 – ProHost USA announced today that October 2014 marks the company’s 25th anniversary of its founding. ProHost USA – Restaurant Insurance Experts, offers comprehensive insurance programs designed to address the unique exposures of restaurants.

“Twenty-five years ago, we were a fledgling operation with big plans and today we are an industry leader in the restaurant insurance niche,” stated Heidi Strommen, President of ProHost. Though the company has changed significantly over time, there is continuity among staff. “We still have two of the original five employees on our team,” observed Strommen, who herself joined the company in 1990.

ProHost insures restaurant customers throughout the United States through relationships with leading independent agencies that specialize in restaurants and recognize the value of their extensive underwriting expertise. “We have key agents and restaurant clients who have been with us for years,” noted Strommen, “and our insurance products have evolved just as their operations have evolved.” One thing that has remained constant is the company’s emphasis on best-in-class service. While many competitors try to differentiate themselves in the marketplace based only on low rates, ProHost has long-recognized that providing fast quote turnaround, knowledgeable underwriting, and outstanding policy servicing is key to both winning new business and retaining existing clients.

Earlier this year, ProHost formed a new partnership with global insurer, XL Group. XL Group’s North America programs unit teams up with program administrators like ProHost USA to underwrite, market, and administer insurance products targeted at niche markets or classes of business.

“XL and ProHost represent a strong team, dedicated to meeting the restaurant industry’s specialized insurance and risk management needs,” said Chris Bressette, Senior Vice President of XL Group’s North America Programs team. “We congratulate ProHost on a quarter century of serving the restaurant industry and look forward to working with ProHost to build on their track record of expertise and service.”
