About Storebrand

Storebrand's journey began in 1767 with the establishment of Den almindelige Brand-Forsikrings-Anstalt, which later became known as Norges Brannkasse. This marked the inception of what would grow into one of Norway's leading financial services companies. Over the centuries, Storebrand has evolved, adapting to the changing landscapes of the insurance and financial sectors.

In 1982, a significant milestone was achieved when Storebrand merged with its competitor, insurance company Norden, forming the Storebrand-Norden group. This merger was a strategic move to consolidate their market position and expand their service offerings. The company rebranded as AS Storebrand in 1986, reflecting its broader ambitions.

Storebrand's growth trajectory continued with another pivotal merger in 1991, this time with the companies under the UNI Forsikring trademark. This merger further solidified Storebrand's presence in the Nordic insurance market.

In 2007, Storebrand made a strategic acquisition of Swedish SPP from Handelsbanken, marking its expansion into the Swedish market for life insurance. This acquisition was a testament to Storebrand's commitment to growth and diversification across the Nordic region.

Throughout its history, Storebrand has demonstrated resilience and adaptability, navigating through various challenges and seizing opportunities for expansion. Today, Storebrand stands as a testament to enduring legacy and strategic foresight in the financial services industry.
