Schunck Group

What Schunck Group does

Schunck Group is a Munich-based specialist insurance broker and risk management firm founded in 1919, focused primarily on the transport and logistics industry, where it holds market-leadership status in Germany and is recognised as the founder of shipping and carriage of goods liability insurance. It operates as a member of the Ecclesia Group (Germany's largest insurance broker, with over 2,400 employees), while Schunck itself maintains more than 300 colleagues across Germany, Austria, and Spain. The group serves the German Mittelstand through seven sector verticals — transport and logistics, industry/trade/services, removals and furniture, information technology, rail, livestock and meat, and art and artworks — each underpinned by dedicated competence centres (artSecur for fine art since 1998; IT Competence Centre since 1998; Rail Competence Centre; Livestock & Meat Competence Centre).

The company's technology stack consists of in-house developed IT solutions tailored by sector-experienced developers over more than 30 years. The core digital platform is MySCHUNCK, a client portal launched in July 2019 that provides multilingual, mobile-enabled contract management, claims reporting with photo upload, document access, and claim tracking. It is complemented by EPAS & Mover-Web (shipment reporting with immediate premium calculation), Certificates Web, PHOENIX (claims processing and analysis), SKM Web and SCHUNCK FleetManager (fleet management with toll and fuel card system interfaces), and artSecur (artwork cataloguing, loan agreements, and insurance registration in German, English, and French).

Schunck generates revenue primarily through insurance brokerage commissions embedded in client premiums (recurring), supplemented by fee-based insurance consulting invoiced separately to business clients, and separate fee agreements when brokering net products. Distribution combines sales-led advisory through nine German branch offices (Berlin, Bielefeld, Bremen, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Freiburg, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart) plus owned Spanish subsidiaries (Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid) and a Zurich branch, with global reach delivered through the unisonSteadfast broker network (590+ brokers in 130+ countries) and Globex International. Wholly owned operating subsidiaries — ATRALOsecur (underwriting, Frankfurt, founded 2017), RMSecur (risk consulting), claimSECUR (claims adjustment), and the Spanish Oskar Schunck Correduría — extend the value chain from brokering into risk management, claims servicing, and underwriting placement, with internal signing authority enabling placement of complex international logistics risks.

Revenue model

1. Insurance brokerage commissions: Consulting, brokering and servicing is basically free for clients since the broker's commission is assumed by the insurer and is a component of the premium.
2. Fee-based insurance consulting: As insurance consultants, SCHUNCK invoices business clients on a fee basis according to an agreement. When brokering net products there is a separate fee agreement obliging the client to pay the fee.

Direct peers

• Ecclesia Group: Parent organisation and Germany's largest insurance broker with 2,400+ employees. Operates the same core business as Schunck (insurance brokerage and risk management for the German Mittelstand) and shares many of the same insurance carrier relationships; useful for parent-group benchmarking even though Schunck operates as an independent subsidiary.
• Funk Gruppe: One of Germany's largest independent, family-owned insurance and risk consultants based in Hamburg. Directly comparable specialisation in industrial and transport insurance for Mittelstand clients, with similar consulting-led GTM and in-house IT/digital offerings.
• GrECo International: Austrian-headquartered international insurance broker with strong DACH presence and broader EMEA reach. Competes directly for transport, logistics, and industrial Mittelstand accounts and offers similar risk consulting alongside brokerage.
• MRH Trowe: Frankfurt-based industrial insurance broker with a strong reputation in specialty lines (transport, logistics, construction, aviation, credit). A consolidation-minded peer actively pursuing roll-up M&A in the German broker market.
• J.C. König & Co. Versicherungsmakler: Bavarian/German independent insurance broker specialising in transport, logistics, and Mittelstand industrial accounts. Closely comparable niche positioning to Schunck, particularly in southern Germany.

Broad incumbents

• Marsh GmbH (Marsh & McLennan): Global insurance broker and risk advisor with a German Mittelstand practice. Marsh competes with Schunck for larger transport, logistics, and industrial accounts in Germany, offering a broader global footprint via the wider Marsh network — overlap on core insurance placement functions but with a much wider portfolio.
• Aon Germany: Global broker serving German corporates and Mittelstand across commercial insurance, risk management, and reinsurance. Competes for major industrial and logistics accounts and provides similar placement, consulting, and digital tools (e.g., Aon Client Portal) at greater scale.

Emerging players

• Howden (Germany): Specialty insurance broker rapidly expanding across Europe via acquisitions, including in Germany. Competes for large industrial and transport placements with an entrepreneurial growth thesis; useful as a benchmark for younger, capital-backed broker models.
