pisa Versicherungsmakler GmbH

What pisa Versicherungsmakler GmbH does

pisa Versicherungsmakler GmbH (operating as pisa bpa) is a privately held, independent German insurance brokerage founded in 1998, headquartered in the Munich area, that specializes in risk management and insurance placement for the construction planning industry. The firm serves architects, engineers, surveying engineers (Vermessungsingenieure), construction trades, property developers, building experts, fire protection companies, sewer renovation companies, and pool/bathing facility operators, advising clients in Germany and Austria with international project support extending worldwide.

The firm distributes a 22-product portfolio spanning professional liability (Berufshaftpflichtversicherung), project liability, builder's/developer liability, construction all-risk coverages (Bauleistungsversicherung, Baukombi-Police, Montageversicherung), D&O, cyber-risk, machinery, electronics, transport, surety (Bürgschaftsversicherung), legal protection, and employee benefits (betriebliche Altersvorsorge, betriebliche Krankenversicherung, Gruppenunfallversicherung). Two proprietary niche concepts — GeoInsurance for surveyors and Aqua Domum for bath operators — are co-developed with insurers for risks standard off-the-shelf policies do not cover. The technology stack is undisclosed; the offering is human-advisory led via phone, email, on-site consultations, video conferences, trade fairs, and conferences.

Commercial economics are commission-based: as an independent Versicherungsmakler not bound to any specific insurer, pisa bpa earns placement commissions by brokering policies across multiple carriers on behalf of clients. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to individual risk profiles. The firm is a member of LEADING BROKERS UNITED GmbH, a network of more than 80 mid-sized owner-managed insurance brokers ranked among the TOP 3 in the DACH region with affiliated partner enterprises in the Netherlands, France, Poland, Spain, and Italy — providing distribution reach and international program capability that exceeds what a 13-person brokerage could deliver on a standalone basis.

Direct peers

• MRH Trowe Group: MRH Trowe is a Munich-headquartered independent insurance broker with strong construction, real-estate, and engineering practice serving mid-market and large clients. Overlap with pisa in independent broker model, construction industry focus, and southern-German/DACH footprint makes it a close comparable.
• SCHUNCK GROUP: SCHUNCK is a Munich-based independent insurance broker (Versicherungsmakler) with a long history serving industrial, commercial, and construction clients across Germany and internationally. Comparable to pisa as an owner-managed, independent broker with construction industry focus and DACH orientation.
• Funk Gruppe: Funk Gruppe is one of Germany's largest independent, owner-managed insurance brokers with deep specialization in industrial and construction-related risk consulting. It is a direct comparable to pisa bpa given similar independence, B2B focus, and construction/engineering vertical strength, but operates at significantly larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Arthur J. Gallagher Germany: Gallagher is a global insurance brokerage with a German footprint built through acquisitions of mid-sized specialty brokers. Comparable acquisition-style growth pattern and specialization focus to pisa's network affiliation, though at materially larger scale and broader vertical coverage.
• Aon Germany (Aon Holdings Deutschland): Aon is a global insurance and reinsurance brokerage with a substantial German practice covering construction, real-estate, and professional services risks. Overlaps with pisa's product lines (D&O, cyber, builder's risk, professional liability) at the larger end of the market, providing benchmark competition and potential acquisition universe.
• Willis Towers Watson Germany (WTW): WTW is a global advisory and brokerage firm with German operations spanning risk, insurance, and benefits consulting for construction and infrastructure clients. Overlaps with pisa on construction, D&O, and benefits advisory, but serves much larger enterprise and infrastructure accounts.
• Ecclesia Group: Ecclesia is one of Germany's largest independent industrial insurance brokers, serving healthcare, public sector, and corporate clients. Comparable in independent broker positioning and specialization depth, though its scale and verticals are broader than pisa's construction planning niche.
• Marsh Germany (Marsh GmbH): Marsh operates one of Germany's largest commercial insurance brokerages, with dedicated construction and engineering practice groups. Comparable on product breadth and risk-advisory positioning to pisa, but at significantly larger scale and serving enterprise accounts across multiple verticals.
• Howden Group (Howden Deutschland): Howden is an international insurance broker expanding aggressively across Europe via acquisitions of owner-managed brokers. Comparable independent broker DNA and specialization-led approach, including construction and engineering lines, positioning it both as competitor and as potential acquirer of niche firms like pisa.

Others

• Gothaer Versicherungen (industrial broker channel): Gothaer is a major German mutual insurer with a dedicated industrial/construction underwriting practice and broker channel serving mid-market construction companies and professionals. Comparable on product lines (Bauherrenhaftpflicht, Berufshaftpflicht, Bauleistung) but operates as a carrier rather than broker, making it a counterparty and competitor-for-clients rather than direct peer.
