Our history

Travelers BoilerRe offers more than 100 years of experience in the highly specialized equipment breakdown (boiler & machinery) insurance business.

Started in 1907 to protect America’s rapidly growing industrial complex, Travelers Boiler & Machinery has never stopped growing. We entered the assumed equipment breakdown marketplace to offer reinsurance to a wider segment of insurance clients such as regional and national carriers, municipal pools and managing general agents. Our goal was to leverage our vast equipment breakdown experience to these new groups of customers.

As we refined our client-centered approach, Travelers BoilerRe has developed a proven track record of providing full-service equipment breakdown capabilities to a wide range of insurance entities. We continue to look to our history to improve your client experience. It’s our cumulative knowledge and hard work – which drives our shared success.
