Grange Insurance information

COLUMBUS — Merkle Insurance of Van Wert has earned the Senior Partner designation from Grange Insurance, placing the agency in an elite group. This honor recognizes Grange’s independent agent partners for their excellent partnership and performance.

The Merkle Insurance Agency has been a Grange partner for 38 years. Less than 300 of Grange’s 3,600 agencies earned Senior Partner status in 2013, making Merkle Insurance among the top 12 percent of all Grange agents.

“Senior Partner designation means the agency is in the top tier of Grange partners, based on profitability, premium volume and growth,” said Tom Welch, Grange Insurance president and CEO. “Merkle Insurance is a terrific example of a high-performing agency and how independent agents provide the best option for people looking to protect what’s important to them. They are big contributors to our success and we thank them for their dedication and partnership.”

Grange sells its products through independent insurance agents only because they offer the best local insurance guidance, represent a variety of companies to find the best fit for each individual, family or business, and support the communities where they live and work.
