CRC Group, a leading independent wholesale specialty and MGA business, announced today the completion of its previously disclosed acquisition of Euclid Transactional, a leading global provider of transactional insurance solutions specializing in representations and warranties, and tax liability insurance.
The acquisition represents another milestone in CRC Group’s growth strategy. It reflects the Company’s continued focus on partnering with high-performing specialty businesses that align with its commitment to underwriting excellence, strong distribution, and a client-first approach.
Euclid Transactional is recognized worldwide as a premier transactional risk underwriting platform with a strong global presence, deep distribution and capacity relationships, and as a leading claims organization. Euclid Transactional operates offices across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
“We are pleased to officially welcome Euclid Transactional to CRC Group,” said Dave Obenauer, CRC Group CEO. “This acquisition further strengthens our specialty underwriting capabilities, expands our expertise in financial and professional lines, and furthers our international reach. All of this deepens our ability to serve clients and partners while advancing our long-term strategy of building a best-in-class specialty organization grounded in shared values.”
The combination of Euclid Transactional’s global reach and transactional risk leadership with CRC Group’s scale, technology investments, and distribution network reinforces a diversified and sustainable growth engine serving clients across the full risk spectrum. Euclid Transactional has established itself as a trusted partner to brokers, clients, and carriers.
“Joining CRC Group marks an important next chapter for our business,” said Jay Rittberg, Managing Principal of Euclid Transactional. “CRC’s scale, resources, and long-term commitment to specialty insurance provide a strong foundation to support our continued growth while preserving the culture and operating model that have driven our success. We also want to thank Euclid Insurance Services and Searchlight Capital Partners for their investments and fantastic support over the past years, which helped us reach this outstanding result.”
