York International

What York International does

York International Agency, now operating as IMA New York, is a regional insurance brokerage and financial services firm serving business and individual clients across the Northeast United States. The company maintains offices in Harrison, NY and Midtown Manhattan under the leadership of Mike Bodack, President of the Northeast Region, and operates as a regional subsidiary of IMA Financial Group, Inc., a privately held insurance and financial services platform headquartered in the US. The firm was absorbed into the IMA brand in 2024-2025 following an approximately 18-month partnership, transitioning York from an independent regional agency to the New York node of IMA's national footprint.

The company's product portfolio spans eight core lines: Business Insurance, Employee Benefits, Small Business Insurance, Personal Lines Insurance, Retirement Plan Solutions, Wholesale Insurance, Wealth Management, and Financial Diligence. Distribution occurs through direct enterprise sales, brokerage channels, and wholesale specialty placement, targeting clients across 16 industry verticals including Construction, Data Centers, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Technology, Real Estate, Financial Institutions, Private Equity, Marine, Native Nations, and Life Sciences. Revenue mechanics are typical of a commercial insurance brokerage — commissions on placed premiums, advisory fees on benefits and retirement programs, and asset-based fees on wealth management — though specific figures are not disclosed.

The business model is relationship-driven rather than technology-driven, with vertical specialization and local presence serving as the primary differentiators. There is no disclosed proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capability, no patents, and no third-party certifications in the available data. The strategic trajectory is defined by integration into the IMA Financial Group platform, with the parent executing brand consolidation and likely continued M&A-driven regional expansion.
