Asigest Broker

What Asigest Broker does

Sabseg Broker Spa (formerly Asigest Broker) is an Italian insurance and reinsurance brokerage founded in 1992 and headquartered in Biella, with additional offices across Italy. The company operates a modular architecture organized into eight specialized divisions — Property & Liability, Marine, Energy & Construction, Credit Insurance & Bond, Public Entities, Legal Protection, Motor, and Retail & Personal Lines — complemented by four core services: Risk Management (aligned to F.E.R.M.A. standards), Claims Service, International Service, and Facultative Reinsurance brokerage for ceding insurers. Its customer base spans retail individuals, corporate and enterprise clients (industrial risks, energy, construction, healthcare, transport), Italian public entities (with 20+ years of dedicated practice), and professionals and freelancers requiring mandatory civil liability coverage.

Revenue is generated through brokerage commissions on insurance and reinsurance policies placed with carriers in the national and international markets. Distribution is primarily direct via specialized professional consultation at the Biella headquarters and Italian offices, supplemented by membership in the UNISON STEADFAST international broker network (over 130 countries, 4,000 qualified professionals) which enables cross-border programme management, centralized international coverages, and Freedom of Services placements. The company operates an internal MasterC5W web platform for collaborator communications and workflow management. It is ISO 9001:2015 certified, holds RUI intermediary registration, is associated with A.I.B.A. under its professional code of conduct, and has implemented an Organizational Model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/01 since 2023.

In 2021, Asigest Broker was integrated into the SABSEG Group — an independent Iberian insurance brokerage leader in Spain and Portugal — and rebranded to Sabseg Broker Spa as the group's Italian vehicle, retaining the Biella headquarters while opening an orchestrated multi-country expansion path. The company is privately held, with disclosed share capital of €137,680, led by President Alessandro Griffith Brookles and Co-Leader Daniele Dolci. There is no public ownership, no venture capital backing, and no disclosed revenue or headcount figures.
