Jewelers Mutual Marks a Major Milestone
The jewelry industry insurer and solutions provider is celebrating 110 years in business this month.
Founded by a group of jewelers in 1913, Neenah, Wisconsin-based Jewelers Mutual Group is celebrating its 110th anniversary this month.
Neenah, Wis.—Jewelers Mutual Group is marking a milestone anniversary this month—110 years of serving the jewelry industry.
Jewelers Mutual got its start in 1913 when a group of jewelers banded together because they couldn’t find insurance for their stores.
Today, the company has expanded to not only offer jewelry insurance to consumers as well but also to offer jewelers a suite of services to help their businesses grow.
Jewelers Mutual recently established the Jewelry Industry Council, organized the inaugural “Conversations in Park City” event in Utah this past fall, and introduced new products and InsurTech solutions to meet its customers’ needs. (InsurTech refers to the use of technology in insurance.)
The company has launched numerous tech products in the past several years, including its marketplace technology platform, and continues to uncover new opportunities, such as the Internet of Things loss prevention technology and its “Luxsurance” program.
