History

edit

In 1916, Vern V. Moulton and four other associates organized Auto-Owners Insurance Company in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. In 1917, the company moved its headquarters to Lansing, Michigan. Here, the home office has remained.[4]

Auto-Owners began writing insurance in Indiana, its first state outside of Michigan, in 1935. They now offer insurance in 26 states through local, independent insurance agents.[4]

The company has been a member of the Fortune 500 since 2003.[5] In 2020, Auto-Owners Insurance was listed at number 320.[5]
