TL;DR

A mid-sized non-life insurance company with JA Kyosairen as its largest shareholder (74.20%). Founded in the 1942-07-01 wartime consolidation (Daito Marine + Daifuku Marine), it converted to a mutual company in 1946 年, which was rare in the non-life industry, and converted to a stock company in 2003-04 . It does not belong to the 3 major non-life insurers (tokio-marine / msad / sompo), taking an independent route in the cooperative / cooperative-organization lineage. It holds a relatively strong share in Hokkaido, Tohoku, Hokuriku, and Kyushu, positioned to complement areas that JA Kyosai cannot handle (automobile, fire, etc.). From 2025-04 , it started a new medium-term plan, “SHIFT — Toward Sustainable Growth —.” ^•

Major shareholders (as of 2023-03-31) ^•

Note: While the original brief listed “Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance, approximately 14%” as a major shareholder, the entry of an MS&AD-affiliated shareholder cannot be confirmed in public information (Wikipedia “共栄火災海上保険” shareholder composition). The largest shareholder is JA Kyosairen 74.20%, followed by Norinchukin Bank 6.63% and Shinkin Central Bank 6.08%, all of which are cooperative-organization-system. It once decided in 2001 年 to join the Millea Insurance Group (the predecessor of the current tokio-marine HD), but it withdrew in 2002-08 and chose stock-company conversion with JA Kyosairen as the largest shareholder, so the current structure is completed within the JA Kyosairen / cooperative-organization lineage.
