As an internationally active insurance broker, we offer freight forwarders, carriers, and the shipping industry a comprehensive portfolio of solutions and services.
We help companies to identify risks at an early stage, manage them in a targeted manner and protect them economically. With individual advice, tailor-made insurance concepts and reliable claims management, we provide systematic security. If you have any complaints, the management is available to you directly - because your satisfaction is our goal.
Effective risk management forms the basis for sustainable corporate success. Together with our clients, we systematically analyze existing risks, assess the probability of occurrence and identify areas for action. The aim is to understand risks, reduce them and make them manageable through preventive measures.
Where risks remain unavoidable, we develop individual strategies for protection. In doing so, we not only rely on existing insurance solutions, but also design tailor-made concepts in close cooperation with leading risk carriers. In this way, we strike a balance between prevention and transfer in order to manage risks in an economically sensible manner.
Covering residual risks requires suitable insurance solutions that are tailored to the specific needs of our customers. As an independent insurance broker, we identify the necessary cover and negotiate optimal conditions for our clients. Our focus is always on reconciling security and cost-effectiveness.
LUTZ ASSEKURANZ is part of the Ecclesia Group and is closely associated with Schunck, the leading insurance broker for the transport and logistics industry in German-speaking countries. Thanks to this group strength, our customers benefit from exclusive service levels, customized insurance packages and broad access to risk carriers. We can also draw on additional solutions within the group to provide a comprehensive insurance concept in the event of additional requirements.
Standard solutions often reach their limits when it comes to complex risks. In the Ecclesia Group, we have the expertise and strong negotiating position thanks to our many years of experience and as a long-standing player in the insurance market to develop tailor-made insurance solutions together with leading risk carriers or to adapt existing conditions individually. This results in products that are precisely tailored to the requirements of our customers.
LUTZ also benefits from this strength: if required, we can offer innovative solutions for our customers beyond the Group - and thus provide cover precisely where conventional products are not sufficient.
