ISC Acquires NNB to Further Complement Its Transportation Offering

Experts in Excess Liability for the Petroleum Distribution and Trucking Industries, NNB will extend its reach under the ISC brand.

California-based Integrated Specialty Coverages (“ISC”), a leading, multi-line program administrator that builds end-to-end insurance products utilizing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) engineering and data analytics, announced that it has acquired West Hartford, Connecticut and Medford, Oregon-based Northeast National Brokerage (“NNB”), an MGA specializing in excess liability coverage for the petroleum distribution and trucking industries.

Launched in 2010 as a wholesale brokerage, it was always the goal of NNB founder Jack Kramer to transition the company into an MGA, which effectively happened in 2014. Since then, NNB has continued to grow and is a recognized leader in the highly specialized petroleum distribution and trucking excess liability space, serving retail and wholesale brokers nationwide.

“NNB is an ideal acquisition for ISC with its strong underwriting discipline and proven industry expertise,” said Tim Nickel, President of ISC. “We see real opportunity to add value by applying ISC’s data science and engineering capabilities to NNB's existing programs and those in the pipeline.” This acquisition further extends ISC’s transportation offering, providing broker partners with the ability to expand their own specialization.

Finding the right buyer was a key consideration for founder Jack Kramer who will continue managing the NNB team as CEO. Merger and Acquisition Services Inc. served as the exclusive financial advisor to Northeast National Brokerage. “The sale to ISC was the next step in NNB’s continued growth and progression,” said Kramer. “With ISC’s capabilities, we’ll be able to further improve our products and the way they are delivered to our markets.”
