Our history

Travelers Boiler & Machinery was founded in 1907 to protect America’s rapidly growing industrial complex. We entered the equipment breakdown reinsurance marketplace to extend our vast equipment, boiler and machinery experience to a wider segment of insurance clients.

Today, Travelers BoilerRe is a leading provider of equipment breakdown reinsurance products and services to regional and national insurance carriers, municipal pools and managing general agents.

Headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut, we’re backed by the financial strength and corporate governance of Travelers (NYSE: TRV), which has more than 30,000 employees and operations in the United States and select international markets. Travelers has an A++ A.M. Best financial rating and is a component of the Dow Jones industrial average.

We continuously draw on our 100-plus-year history to improve our client experience. It’s our cumulative knowledge and dedication that drives our shared success.
