Assurex Global has elected Czech brokerage OK HOLDING a.s. of Brno as its newest partner firm, effective April 10, 2026, strengthening the privately held network's coverage in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
Founded in 1999 as OK GROUP a.s., the firm initially focused on customized insurance services for corporate clients and industrial risk management. It has since developed into a specialist intermediary with a strong emphasis on advisory capability and client advocacy in claims, particularly for industrial and commercial risks.
Meanwhile, Assurex operates an exclusive partnership model with roughly 100 independent firms worldwide. It has since developed into a specialist intermediary with a strong emphasis on advisory capability and client advocacy in claims, particularly for industrial and commercial risks.
“We are thrilled to welcome OK HOLDING to the Assurex Global Partnership,” said Assurex Global president and CEO Dean Hildebrandt. “Their dedication to risk management, deep technical expertise, and outstanding client advocacy perfectly align with the rigorous standards we expect from our Partner Firms. We look forward to the unique perspectives and robust regional strength they will bring to our global network.”
The addition of OK HOLDING gives Assurex Global a stronger foothold in a region where insurance penetration and premium growth continue to outpace many Western European markets.
The Czech insurance sector has posted resilient gains in recent years, with non-life premiums and life premiums both recording solid growth as economic conditions and risk awareness improve. Forward-looking forecasts suggest Czech life and non-life premiums will expand at a mid-single-digit annual rate through the remainder of the decade, supported by continued development of the corporate and SME sectors and rising personal lines demand.
For international broker networks, working with established independent firms in markets like the Czech Republic offers a way to access that growth while retaining on-the-ground expertise in regulation, distribution, and client relationships.
OK HOLDING has evolved into an umbrella brand positioned as a “one-stop shop” for insurance, finance, and investment solutions.
As part of that evolution, the group has incorporated entities such as OK KLIENT and OK PROFIT, broadening its reach and service portfolio. The expansion has been driven by a combination of steady organic growth and partnerships with regional brokerages, giving the firm a wider distribution footprint across the Czech market and into neighboring territories.
“Becoming a partner firm of Assurex Global is a significant milestone for OK HOLDING,” said Radoslav Kubiš, chairman of the board. “This partnership not only validates our commitment to providing top-tier consultancy and customized solutions but also empowers us to offer our clients even greater value through an expansive global network. We are truly excited about the collaborative opportunities that lie ahead.”
The group’s strategic direction is overseen by a multi-layered leadership team. Alongside chairman Radoslav Kubiš, key roles include vice chairman Michal Kubiš, vice chairman SK Miroslav Pacher, vice chairman CZ Jan Maloch, OK KLIENT chairman Štefan Tillinger, OK KLIENT vice chairman Radoslav Kubiš Jr., and chief financial officer Martin Stohr.
The partnership underscores continued consolidation and network-building; growing interest in CEE markets as a source of organic premium growth; and the value placed on independent firms that combine deep local roots with access to multinational risk and benefits capabilities.
By bringing OK HOLDING into its partnership, Assurex Global is positioning itself to support both Czech corporates with international exposures and global clients with operations in the Czech Republic and neighboring markets, combining local insight with a coordinated, cross-border servicing model.
