exxis: Ecclesia Group continues to develop the EGAS reinsurer
The Ecclesia Group is strategically evolving its existing reinsurance arm, EGAS, under the new name exxis, thereby strengthening its ability to systematically assess complex risks, translate them into sustainable insurance solutions, and reliably implement these solutions through to claims settlement. The goal is to achieve effective collaboration between insurers, brokers, and companies—with greater speed and solutions that remain viable even amid increasing complexity.
The requirements for insurance solutions have changed significantly across all sectors. In industry and commerce, as well as in healthcare, church institutions, and the social economy, increasingly interconnected and dynamic risk structures are emerging that can no longer be reliably mapped using standardized approaches alone. Against this backdrop, the Ecclesia Group has purposefully refined the business model of its insurance provider. exxis embodies the commitment to identify, classify, and translate complex risks into viable solutions. This results in consistent, transparent, and sustainable outcomes for insurers. Furthermore, expertise in claims settlement remains a core element of the value proposition. The new name reflects this strategic realignment.
“We have deliberately refined our value proposition—in terms of expertise, processes, and the speed of our decision-making,” says Thomas Olaynig, Chief Market Officer of the Ecclesia Group. “exxis embodies this new standard of quality in underwriting as well as reliability in our established operations.”
The name exxis deliberately references the linguistic roots of the Ecclesia Group and underscores its affiliation within the network. This makes it clear: the experience, network, and—above all—market and customer understanding of a large corporate group flow directly into the underwriter’s daily work. At the same time, exxis operates independently in risk assessment and underwriting decisions. Technical assessments are conducted independently and based on clearly defined underwriting principles. This deliberate combination of affiliation and independence shapes the strategic positioning and is consistently reflected in the new brand identity.
exxis assumes responsibility throughout the value chain—from the analysis of technical, operational, and liability-related risks, through underwriting decisions and policy issuance, to claims processing and settlement. It is precisely when a claim occurs that a solution proves its worth: Clear processes, speed, reliability, and a consistent focus on solutions in collaboration with insurers and brokers are crucial. For insurers, this creates a structured and quality-assured foundation for risk underwriting and claims handling. The solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with broker advisory services and precisely reflect the specific needs of businesses. Customer focus arises not as an afterthought, but from the quality of the risk structure itself.
“Our goal is not merely to insure risks, but to systematically analyze them and translate them into sustainable solutions,” says Tim Brozio, Head of Market & Products at exxis. “This creates a system that works for everyone involved—from the insurer to the broker to the company.”
The strategic positioning of the reinsurers within the Ecclesia Group remains deliberately distinct: Specialized units such as assona in the B2C business and ATRALOsecur, which focuses on transport and logistics risks, will continue to operate independently.
With exxis, the Ecclesia Group is demonstrating its continued development in the reinsurance segment. The focus is on tailored specialty solutions, clear decision-making structures throughout the entire value chain, and a forward-looking approach to risk management. The scope of operations includes property insurance, financial lines, cyber, liability/accident, technical insurance, and travel risk.
