Helvetia Patria is a Swiss insurance company with over two million customers across Europe. The company has been in business since 1858. While it has grown and diversified over the years, a dramatic change in the company organization occurred in 1995 when a holding company was created to bring many insurance businesses together. The combined Helvetia Patria Group consists of multiple branches and subsidiaries located across six European countries. They sell a broad portfolio of personal and business insurance, including life, property and casualty, and reinsurance. In addition, the company operates different types of pension plans.
