ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

Here at BLAT, we understand first-hand how essential the aquaculture, agriculture, livestock and forestry industries are to the future of our society. 

We put the client first. Knowing their business in detail and assessing their risks is crucial. We have to feel what they feel and experience what they experience. This is the only way we can always provide them with the best and most effective solutions. Most importantly, when that solution does not exist, we create it.

This belief led us to specialise when no one else did. We have been specialising in primary sector industries for over 37 years, working side by side with leading companies in major markets, both nationally and internationally.

WHO WE ARE

BLAT DOES NOT ONLY SHARE THE RISK WITH YOU SO THAT YOU CAN CONTINUE TO GROW IN A SUSTAINABLE WAY, WE SHARE MUCH MORE: WE SHARE A COMMITMENT.

The commitment to get to know your business in detail, visiting you on site whenever necessary.

The commitment to pick up the phone immediately. We know that claims don't understand timetables.
 

 

The commitment to adapt to your reality at all times, updating the contracted cover year after year.

The commitment to always look for a solution for you, and if there isn't one, to create one.

And the commitment to provide you with the necessary knowledge to be able to evaluate uncertainty and make the best decisions.

BACKGROUND

BLAT WAS FOUNDED IN 1985 BY FERRAN BONET ALSINA, TOGETHER WITH PROFESSIONALS IN INSURANCE AND REINSURANCE MEDIATION, AS THE FIRST INSURANCE BROKERAGE IN SPAIN TO SPECIALISE IN AGRICULTURAL AND LIVESTOCK PRODUCTS AND TO DEVELOP SPECIFIC PRODUCTS FOR THE AQUACULTURE AND FORESTRY SECTORS.

Throughout our evolution, we have achieved a number of milestones:

In 1994, we developed specific customised insurance plans for the aquaculture sector for the first time, covering what other insurance companies did not cover because of new needs that emerged.

In 1996, we were pioneers in creating the first Fire Insurance for forest areas in Catalonia with a Technical Management Plan, commissioned by the Government of Catalonia. 

In 1997, we started working as Reinsurance Brokers. This opened up a wide range of new solutions to meet the growing needs of the agricultural, livestock, forestry and aquaculture sectors.

In 2003 we started to open internationally, working on specific solutions in countries such as Portugal, Brazil, Ecuador, and others.

We diversified our business in 2006. We placed reinsurance for risks from other business areas such as property damage, loss of profits, general liability, professional liability, directors and administrations, engineering, construction, and assembly (CAR/EAR), personal accident, credit and surety, transport, contingencies, automobile fleets, group health, and environmental risks, to name a few.

OUR PAST BACKS US UP AS WE FACE THE COMPLEX FUTURE AHEAD

In 2010, we took the leap to offer a fully comprehensive service, with solutions that cover not only all their business, but also all their insurance needs, always with our clients' welfare in mind. That same year, we also began to offer B2B services, advising general brokers and insurance companies in the international market, mainly in Portugal and countries bordering the Mediterranean like Italia, Tunisia, or Morocco.

In 2018, we launched the creation of the African Swine Fever, (ASF), insurance policy, which was introduced on the market in 2019. 

We have been innovating as much as the first day for more than 37 years. Creating products for black truffle forest plantations for members of The Forest Ownership Centre of Catalonia, CPF, developing a loss of profit insurance for plant and vegetable processing plants… And we won't stop innovating.

INSURANCE

  • Population growth is both an opportunity and a challenge. Productions and farms will be required to look for new ways to become more efficient and sustainable at the same time. Climate change impacts are expected to increase in the coming years.

  • The aquaculture sector is a high-potential and steadily growing sector that continues to expand by offering a more sustainable alternative to commercial fishing, whose development has stagnated in recent years. However, the sector faces high loss and mortality risks for fish, molluscs, algae, and crustaceans, so coverage is very important to ensure a viable investment.

  • Implementing more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices is a major challenge for the livestock industry today. This involves a shift in working models, advanced technology, and investment in new measures such as biomass, which add complexity, technification and risk to the profession.

    Learn more

  • The climate crisis has led to major changes in the climate around the world, with a direct impact on forest areas. The more unstable the climate becomes, the greater the risk of fire and wind as extreme phenomena, and so on.

REINSURANCE

The insurance of insurance. Risk spreading and loss limitation in the event of large claims is particularly important in the primary sector insurance business.

Investments are becoming increasingly significant and require considerable financial resources beyond what the insurance companies themselves can handle, making support from major, solvent reinsurance companies essential.

We know that by protecting the insurance industry, we guarantee the protection of all insured individuals.

THAT'S WHY BLAT ALSO OFFERS SPECIFIC REINSURANCE SOLUTIONS ON A GLOBAL BASIS THANKS TO OUR TOP-TIER PARTNERS.
