Vézina marks MMA’s entry into the Canadian market and reinforces MMA’s commitment to serving the risk management and insurance needs of middle market companies throughout the US and now Canada.

"Since embarking on our strategy to build a preeminent middle market insurance firm, our goal has remained the same: to join forces with high quality insurance agencies," said David Eslick, chairman and CEO of MMA. “Vézina’s strong leadership team, mix of business, and emphasis on customer-centric service make it an ideal match for us to expand our strategy into Canada.”
