Acquisition Opportunity Relion Insurance Solutions was acquired by Alkeme Inc. in December 2024, presenting a potential cross-sell of integrated insurance product offerings and to explore post-merger service alignment, retention strategies, and carrier partnerships.
Regional Presence As a long-standing Iowa-based agency with over 140 years of history and recent partner additions, there is potential to expand commercial lines in mid-market segments and leverage local relationships to win more business from nearby SMBs and family-owned enterprises.
