Our Company

In 1921, Robert Pein set out to create a new kind of insurance company. He was frustrated by insurance rates that were too high and claim settlements that weren’t handled fairly. State Automobile Mutual Insurance Company, he said, would be different. He pledged reasonable rates with prompt and fair claim service that remain our hallmark to this day. We’ve grown a lot since then. Today we have assets approaching $4 billion and write nearly $2 billion in premium in 49 states and the District of Columbia. And we continue to rely on independent agents and wholesale brokers to market our products. Throughout our nearly 100-year history, we’ve developed a well-respected heritage and built a strong foundation. We’ve always celebrated a culture of people who care. Who deliver exceptional service. Who plant themselves firmly in the communities they serve. Who genuinely understand their customers. And who develop trusted relationships. That is State Auto Insurance.
