The combined organisation will be one of the ten leading insurers in the US surety market, significantly contributing to our strategic expansion in the US,” Sparro stated.
The merged entity will be headed by Sompo International Surety executive vice president Brian Beggs, who will operate out of Lexon’s Mt. Juliet, Tennessee headquarters.
