NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alliant’s already-strong presence in the Northwest region just got stronger, with the acquisition of Portland-based Hecht & Hecht. The transaction, which will bring a full range of property and casualty insurance services under the Alliant banner, bolsters Alliant’s presence in the Portland market as it continues to expand its reach throughout the Northwest region. Alliant previously acquired Hecht’s employee benefits arm in 2016.
“The Northwest has been an area of considerable growth for Alliant, and we expect this trend to continue,” said Tom Corbett, Chairman and CEO of Alliant. “We believe in the fundamentals of the region and are committed to partnering with top-tier firms as we expand our reach and service profile.
