Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. Acquires Australian Firm Prasidium Credit Insurance
Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., has announced its acquisition of Australia's Prasidium Credit Insurance. Details of the transaction have not been disclosed.

The news follows on from reports earlier this year, of Gallagher’s acquisition of Forest Insurance Facilities by its US wholesale brokerage, binding authority, and programmes division, Risk Placement Services, Inc. (RPS).

Prasidium Credit Insurance, headquartered in North Sydney, is a specialist broker focusing on trade credit insurance and serving clients across Australia. Key team members, including Mark Smith, Stuart Prendergast, Mark Browning, and Paul Daniele, will integrate into Gallagher offices throughout Australia.
