Marsh McLennan Agency (MMA) has acquired the independent agency Pelnik Insurance in North Carolina.

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Pelnik Insurance, founded in 1994, is led by CEO Chris Pelnik. It offers business insurance, employee health and benefits, as well as private client services to mid-sized businesses and individuals in the Mid-Atlantic region. Pelnik Insurance has 19 employees across offices in Cary and Greensboro, NC, and is licensed in eight states – North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, West Virginia, Georgia, New York, Florida – plus the District of Columbia.

Following the deal’s closure, all of Pelnik Insurance will join the MMA team.

“Pelnik Insurance has a talented team dedicated to delivering quality client service. With the addition of Pelnik Insurance, we continue to expand our reach and broaden our client offerings across North Carolina and the region,” said MMA Mid-Atlantic region CEO John Stanchina.

“Joining MMA is an opportunity to provide our colleagues growth opportunities and give clients access to the capabilities of an organization respected for its expertise and resources,” commented Chris Pelnik on the acquisition.

Just last week, MMA acquired another independent agency – Southwest Truck Insurance (STI). Based in Irving, TX, STI specializes in creating business insurance solutions for the trucking industry. The agency serves domestic and cross-border trucking operations, with clients in both the US and Mexico.
