Stellium

What Stellium does

Stellium is a sole-proprietor insurance agency based in Tijuana, Mexico, operated by Luis Enrique Barrera Salgado as an authorized distributor for GNP and, more recently, AXA, ANA, and Qualitas. The firm places personal and commercial insurance policies across health, life, auto, home, travel, and business lines, serving individuals and PyMEs (pequeñas y medianas empresas) in the Tijuana market, with a stated base of approximately 1,500 customers.

The agency was rebranded under the Stellium name in 2020, building on the founder's insurance career that began in 2010 and his AMAP certification. Product scope has expanded incrementally from personal lines into commercial products (2021) and the carrier portfolio has broadened to four underwriting partners, while online quote-comparison tools were added to enable digital lead capture alongside the traditional office-based sales process. The team is six people.

The business model is standard insurance distribution economics: revenue is generated through carrier-paid commissions on placed policies, with no disclosed subscription, fee-for-service, or technology licensing component. There are no funding rounds, institutional investors, or third-party capital referenced, and the firm operates from a single Tijuana location with no evidence of geographic expansion beyond that market.

Direct peers

• Plan Seguro: Mexican auto insurance carrier with a strong agent distribution model and brand presence in northern Mexico. Comparable as a competing auto-insurance distributor for the same regional customer base.
• Quálitas Controladora: Mexico's largest auto insurer and a carrier partner of Stellium. Comparable for the Mi Auto line, though Quálitas is also a captive-agent-driven carrier rather than an independent brokerage.

Broad incumbents

• Lockton México: Independent insurance brokerage operating in Mexico with SMB and mid-market commercial focus. Comparable for the brokerage model and distribution of multi-carrier commercial and group benefit products.
• HDI Seguros México: Multi-line insurer active in auto, home, and commercial lines through agents and brokers in Mexico. Competes with Stellium across PyME and individual segments, particularly auto and property.
• Zurich Seguros México: Global insurer with Mexican commercial and SME operations distributed through brokers. Comparable for the Daños Empresa, Flotillas PyME, and RC Pro lines Stellium offers to SMBs.
• AXA México: Global insurer with a major Mexican operation that distributes through agents and bancassurance. Listed as one of Stellium's carrier partners and competes for the same end-customers across auto, health, and life lines.
• MetLife México: Major life and group benefits carrier in Mexico with strong agent networks. Comparable because it sells group life, individual life, and accident products through agency channels serving similar SMB and individual segments as Stellium.
• Seguros Monterrey New York Life: Leading life insurer in Mexico with a captive agency force. Comparable for life and group benefits distribution; competes with Stellium in the Vida and Vida Grupo product categories.
• GNP Seguros: Mexico's largest insurer and Stellium's primary carrier partner. Comparable because GNP also distributes through captive agents in similar geographies, but operates as the underwriter and brand-owner rather than an independent agency.
• Marsh México: Large commercial insurance brokerage serving Mexican corporates and SMEs. Comparable as a brokerage model that distributes third-party carrier products, though oriented to larger commercial accounts than Stellium's PyME focus.
