What MAPFRE Global Risks does

MAPFRE Global Risks is the specialized large-risk unit of MAPFRE S.A. (the Madrid-listed insurance conglomerate), incorporated as MAPFRE GLOBAL RISKS, AGENCIA DE SUSCRIPCIÓN, S.A.U., a regulated Spanish underwriting agency (Agencia de Suscripción) based in Majadahonda, Madrid. Founded in 2009 and employing 101–250 staff, it designs, underwrites, and administers complex international insurance programs and global employee benefits for large corporations and multinational companies, with a particular concentration of clients in Spain and Latin America.

Its core offering is organized across eight insurance lines — Property Damage, Energy (Oil & Gas and Renewables), Construction/Infrastructure, Aviation/Aerospace, Third-Party Liability, Marine/Transport, and Global Employee Benefits (Life, Health, Accidents) — supported by three service pillars: International Programs (multi-jurisdiction program administration), Risk Engineering (technical exposure assessment and prevention), and Captive Solutions (management of corporate self-insurance vehicles). The underlying technology stack is conventional: risk-engineering expertise, underwriter judgment, and bespoke policy administration; no proprietary AI platforms, APIs, or developer tooling are disclosed.

The business model is subscription-recurring: revenue is generated through insurance premiums and associated fees on large-risk placements, with B2B pricing quoted per client based on exposure profile, coverage scope, and program complexity (pricing is not publicly disclosed). Distribution is direct enterprise field sales through specialized account managers and risk engineers, complemented by thought-leadership marketing via the firm's long-running industry magazine 'Gerencia de Riesgos y Seguros' and annual international seminars. Customer logos include Telefónica, Navantia, Santander Group, Carvajal, Ultranav, and Progreso — large, multi-line enterprise accounts.
