Company Sees Downtown Houston Presence as Key to Growth Plans
HOUSTON, Aug. 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American National Insurance Company today announced the opening of a new corporate office in the heart of downtown Houston, marking a significant milestone for the company as it aims to enhance service offerings for policyholders and other stakeholders, and strengthen its presence in the Houston metropolitan area.
The office opened this week with approximately 30 employees initially working on site with plans to expand. Situated in Three Allen Center, a Brookfield Properties office tower, the office is part of the Allen Center campus, which contains more than 3.2 million SF of office and retail space. The modern facilities and amenities, central location and vibrant business community present an ideal environment for fostering collaboration and innovation.
“We’re excited to open our newest office and strengthen our ties to the Houston business community,” said Tim Walsh, President and CEO of American National. “This move represents our continued strategic commitment to attracting and retaining the top talent needed to successfully compete and grow our business and deliver on our mission to be a source of certainty for our clients.”
Since being acquired by Brookfield Reinsurance in May 2022, American National has set its sights on building one of the most successful U.S.-based insurance companies in its core markets of annuities, life insurance, and personal and commercial property and casualty insurance and sees a strong corporate Houston presence as a key part of that effort, according to Walsh.
“This expansion brings the potential to explore new opportunties and leverage the diverse and thriving talent market in Houston and the surrounding area,” Walsh said.
With more than 1,500 employees in Texas, this will be the company’s fifth corporate location. In addition to its corporate headquarters in Galveston, Texas, American National currently has large operations in League City, TX, Springfield, MO, and Glenmont, NY.
