Amynta Group has completed its acquisition of Global Surety LLC, International Sureties Limited and International Sureties SARL, collectively referred to as International Sureties.

International Sureties is a specialty surety broker that provides commercial surety products, including admiralty, court, bankruptcy, logistics, and license and permit bonds. The firm serves clients across multiple sectors that require tailored bonding solutions.

An evolving market

Industry analysts noted that the specialty surety market has been evolving in response to regulatory changes and increasing project complexity, with brokers that provide expertise in niche bond types becoming key partners for businesses requiring risk mitigation. 

Market forecasts project steady expansion, with compound annual growth of 6% to 6.6% through 2031. While contract surety remains the largest segment, specialty products, including admiralty, logistics, license, and permit bonds, have seen rising demand as businesses face regulatory and performance obligations across multiple jurisdictions.

That said, current market conditions have tightened, with underwriters exercising greater selectivity, particularly for higher-risk exposures. Some smaller specialty brokers have exited or merged, reducing options for certain niche bonds. 

The acquisition of International Sureties expands Amynta Group’s capacity in specialty surety, supporting greater issuance of non-standard bonds at a time of growing demand.

By combining specialized expertise with Amynta’s broader resources, the firm may streamline underwriting and issuance processes, improving access for clients needing bonds for complex or cross-jurisdictional obligations. Businesses in shipping, logistics, energy, or those requiring court, bankruptcy, or permit bonds may benefit from a wider range of bonding solutions with enhanced service infrastructure.

The deal also reflects a broader industry trend of consolidating specialty brokers into larger platforms, which may increase capacity for complex bonds while intensifying competition for smaller standalone firms.

A perfect fit

Amynta initially announced the deal on Sept. 22. The transaction was subject to regulatory approvals and was expected to close in Q4 2025.

Robert Giammarco, chairman and CEO of Amynta Group, said International Sureties has a long history in the surety market and a reputation for specialist focus and client service. He added that the acquisition expands Amynta Group’s specialty insurance offerings.

The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

In 2023, Amynta Group also acquired Ambridge Group from Brit. That deal was worth $400 million and covered Ambridge's operations in the US, the UK and Germany.
