Ohio Mutual Insurance Group Joins NICB

The Ohio Mutual Insurance Group (OMIG), a regional property and casualty insurer based in Bucyrus, Ohio, is the newest addition to the nearly 1,100 companies that are members of the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB).

"We are proud to welcome Ohio Mutual as a partner in our efforts to fight insurance fraud and vehicle crime," said NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle.

Mark C. Russell, who became president and CEO of the Ohio Mutual Insurance Group in January, said fighting fraud is a responsibility his organization takes very seriously.

"We owe it to our policyholders and business partners to defend against those who would try to commit fraud," said Russell. "Today's insurance fraud is sophisticated and complex and it requires a strong partnership with other insurers and law enforcement to combat it. NICB offers more than 100 years of experience to support our fraud investigators, and our participation as an active member of NICB will be an essential component of our fraud-fighting efforts going forward."

Ohio Mutual Insurance Group, founded in 1901 with its home office in Bucyrus, Ohio, and a regional office in Saco, Maine, partners with nearly 400 independent agencies to distribute quality property and casualty insurance products throughout Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, New Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Ohio Mutual has maintained a rating of "A / Stable" from A.M. Best Co. for 23 consecutive years, and was named to the prestigious Ward's 50 in 2009–2013.
