Amynta Group has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Global Surety LLC, International Sureties Limited and International Sureties SARL, collectively known as International Sureties.
Based in New Orleans, International Sureties is a specialty broker with a focus on commercial surety products. The transaction, subject to regulatory approvals, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Dowling Hales acted as the exclusive financial advisor to International Sureties.
Founded in 1972, International Sureties has built its business around a broad suite of commercial surety bonds, including admiralty, court, bankruptcy, logistics and license and permit bonds. The company operates from offices in New Orleans, the UK and Belgium.
Under the terms of the agreement, Clark Fitz-Hugh, president and CEO of International Sureties, will continue to lead the business, ensuring continuity of client service and strategy following the acquisition.
The acquisition represents a further step in Amynta Group's strategy to expand its specialty insurance offerings. Surety is a growing area of demand as businesses face evolving regulatory requirements, court obligations and complex contractual arrangements that require bonding solutions.
By bringing International Sureties into its portfolio, Amynta gains access to specialized expertise and an international footprint that complements its existing services. The move also signals Amynta's intent to strengthen its position in niche and high-value segments of the insurance services market.
The surety market has shown steady growth, driven by sectors such as construction, shipping, and logistics, where bonds are essential for regulatory compliance and contractual risk transfer. Brokers with deep technical expertise, like International Sureties, play a critical role in connecting clients with tailored solutions.
For Amynta, the acquisition enhanced its ability to respond to increasing demand for customised surety services.
Market observers noted that consolidations of this kind may also signal heightened competition among insurance service providers seeking to broaden their offerings and deepen client relationships in specialised areas.
