Hilb Group has announced the acquisition of a Pennsylvania-based property and casualty agency, effective Jan. 1, 2026.
The deal expands the company's product and service offerings throughout the Mid-Atlantic region and reinforces its presence in a key strategic market for commercial and personal P&C.
The acquisition is the latest in a string of transactions for the Carlyle-backed property/casualty and employee benefits broker. Also effective Jan. 1, Hilb Group completed the acquisition of an unnamed Virginia-based full-service insurance agency offering both P&C and employee benefits, further deepening its reach in the Mid-Atlantic and adding complementary expertise on the benefits side.
In November 2025, Hilb Group announced the acquisition of an undisclosed New Jersey-based property and casualty business. That move strengthened its growing footprint across the Tri-State region and expanded its reach in one of the most competitive and strategically important U.S. insurance markets.
The Pennsylvania acquisition, meanwhile, plugs Hilb directly into a large, mature and highly contested P&C arena. The state ranks among the larger state P&C markets in the US by premium, with a broad mix of national carriers, regional and mutual insurers, and active surplus lines capacity serving both personal and commercial risks.
Distribution in the state is dominated by a dense network of independent agencies that have become prime targets for regional and national broker consolidators. Larger brokers are building out sector-specific propositions in areas such as construction, healthcare, manufacturing, public entities and education, while smaller firms lean heavily on local relationships and service.
Within this landscape, Hilb’s New Jersey, Virginia and Pennsylvania deals signal a deliberate push to build scale and capability across the Eastern US. The group’s model centers on partnering with entrepreneurial, locally embedded agencies; preserving their regional identity and client relationships; and bolstering them with broader carrier access, specialist resources, technology and centralized support functions.
For the newly acquired Pennsylvania agency, that is likely to mean additional markets, analytics and risk management tools to deploy with clients, as well as access to Hilb’s growing employee benefits and specialty expertise.
Furthermore, the recent acquisitions underline Hilb Group’s intention to remain an active consolidator in the US mid-market brokerage space, particularly in property and casualty lines where competitive intensity is high but demand for advisory-led broking and sophisticated risk solutions continues to grow.
