PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - MiniCo Insurance Agency is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Founded in September 1974, the company pioneered insurance products designed specifically for the self-storage industry including tenant insurance and a property and casualty policy for self-storage business owners including innovative specialty coverages designed to address exposures unique to the industry. In 1979, MiniCo introduced the "Mini-Storage Messenger," the first trade periodical for the self-storage industry.
In the 40 years since its founding, MiniCo has become one of the most recognized names in the self-storage industry. The company offers two tenant insurance programs and specialty property and casualty commercial insurance for self-storage operators throughout the United States and Canada.
In 2010, MiniCo was acquired by the Aran Insurance Services Group and began to expand its insurance offerings to include a wide variety of specialty property and casualty insurance products. Current programs include fine art and collectibles insurance, agribusiness insurance, sports and activity insurance, contractors liability insurance, and fantasy sports gamer insurance.
MiniCo President and CEO Mike Schofield commented, "Forty years is an important milestone for any company. MiniCo's sustainability is largely attributable to our core value of customer-focused service. Our company culture places a significant value on serving our customers to include policyholders, insurance agents, subscribers, and advertisers."
To celebrate this important anniversary, MiniCo will host a cocktail party at the Self Storage Association's Fall Conference and Trade Show on September 11th at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
