Co-operative Insurance Cos. became the 66th company member of the Trusted Choice consumer-branding program for independent insurance agents and brokers.
Co-operative Insurance, headquartered in Middlebury, Vt., is an association of three Vermont-based co-operative fire-insurance companies: the Patrons Co-operative Fire Insurance Co., the Farmers Co-operative Fire Insurance Co. and the Rural Co-operative Fire Insurance Co. The companies date back to 1915, 1924 and 1933, respectively.
In 1951, for financial and efficiency reasons, the three individual companies joined forces as Co-operative Fire Insurance Association of Vermont. In 1997, the name was changed to Co-operative Insurance Cos.
