About Professional Insurance Associates
PIA is a multi-location organization with many offices strategically located throughout California in order to allow ready access by our clientele.
PIA was founded in 1960 with Sterling L. Hammack Jr. as president. Over the years the network of over 140 offices has been established and additional insurance companies have been added to provide more diversified services to our customers.
People... and the relationships they form, are our strength. Our reputation has been built on a solid foundation of people dedicated to providing the highest degree of service to the people we serve.
By providing you with innovative solutions to your insurance needs and personalized service, it is our goal to earn the right to be your insurance agent. PIA Inc. offers you experience, skill, and innovation in arranging your business insurance needs... whether casualty, property, employee benefits, or financial services.
Though our customers' needs are diverse, we believe they are all searching
for the best value - the best their insurance dollar can buy. This value
results, in part, from our access to worldwide insurance markets and from
our expertise in designing cost-effective protection plans for you.
In 1960, the company was founded on the principle that each customer is entitled
to the finest in fair and personal service at all times. That's still true
today in each of our branches and over 140 affiliated offices throughout
California.
PIA represents over 70,000 policyholders and written premiums of $150,000,000.
PIA expects to continue to expand its services to all areas of California in the coming years and to continue to expand its companies to remain in the top 10 insurance broker/agency firms in California.
