Acquisition Announcement
We are pleased to announce that Eastern Insurance has
acquired Hokanson Insurance Agency, Inc., a respected
leader in the Massachusetts employee benefit marketplace.
Effective October 1st, the Hokanson brokerage team joined
Eastern Benefits Group forming one the largest and most
accomplished employee benefits practices in Massachusetts.
Based in Hanover, MA, Hokanson serves over 400 clients and
represents over $100,000,000 in premium. The Agency
is staffed with 13 well-trained, service oriented
insurance professionals with extensive benefits
experience.
Hokanson Insurance Agency, Inc. was incorporated in 1992
by Herbert Hokanson, Jr. and Kevin Hokanson, who were
later joined by Scott Hokanson and Brian Charon.
Hokanson Insurance Agency has built an exceptional
reputation in the insurance industry since its inception.
Hokanson maintains expertise in employee benefits
brokerage and also serves as a managing general
underwriter (MGU) for Stop Loss Insurance for self-insured
health plans.
Although Hokanson Insurance will continue to operate under
its current name through December 31st, the staff has
already merged with our Eastern Benefits division,
expanding our outstanding employee benefits and life
insurance sales and service team south of Boston.
We are confident that this acquisition will support our
continued growth and enhance our ability to provide our
clients with the highest level of service and expertise.
