From first mover to market leader in CEE
VIG was one of the first European insurance groups to expand into the markets of the CEE region after the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989. Step by step, the Group established its presence in new markets and positioned itself as the number 1 in the region. Vienna Insurance Group places an emphasis on Central and Eastern Europe as its home market and pursues a long-term business strategy in its core markets. The aim is to consistently expand the market leadership in the CEE region through long-term and profitable growth.
Expertise with local responsibility
Vienna Insurance Group offers a wide range of bespoke solutions for risk protection and prevention and continuously adapts its services to the requirements of the dynamic environment.

Ultimately, it is the individual strengths of these brands and the in-depth expertise of the employees that enable customer proximity and drive the Group's successful development.
