What We Do
Your business. Your employees. Your peace of mind. At Sentry, we understand what matters most to you. Because we’ve been there ourselves. We got our start in 1904, when members of the Wisconsin Retail Hardware Association formed their own insurance company. Establishing the company gave members strength in numbers, but it was the true strength of personalized service and Midwestern roots that became hallmarks of the Sentry name.
Today, we’ve grown to become a member of one of the largest and most financially secure insurance groups in the country by never forgetting where we came from. Perhaps that’s why many of our customers have been with us for decades.
And we can be there for you.
Our customers work in a wide range of industries, including transportation, manufacturing, metalworking, construction, auto dealerships, and more. From 401(k) plans and general liability to commercial property and workers’ compensation, we offer the insurance products that can help protect your business and your employees.
Our Stevens Point headquarters is the flagship of our business, which is supported by field offices strategically located throughout the United States. With more than $22.9 billion in assets, a $7.5 billion* policyholder surplus, and an A+ (superior) rating from AM Best,** the industry’s leading rating authority, we continue providing peace of mind.
