Aon Completes Acquisition of In-House Insurance Agency Business of Mitsubishi Chemical Group in Japan
TOKYO, (3 March 2025) –
Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced it has successfully completed the transaction to acquire the in-house insurance agency business of Mitsubishi Chemical Group (MCG) on March 1, enhancing Aon’s Risk Capital and Human Capital capabilities in Japan.
The in-house insurance agency business operated as part of Dia Rix the in-house business services provider to MCG group companies. Following the completion of the transaction, Aon will provide corporate and personal lines insurance to MCG group companies and employees in Japan.
With the addition of 100 new colleagues to Aon in Japan, a total of more than 400 professionals will work together to provide services to clients led by Tatsuya Yamamoto, head for Japan at Aon.
Yamamoto said, “In today's rapidly evolving environment for in-house agencies, MCG pioneered this project by joining forces with Aon to better address the needs of their companies and employees. This is a significant initiative in the industry, following the changes in the Japanese non-life insurance market which many Japanese companies are likely following closely. We will make every effort to ensure the integration of the in-house insurance agency is a success for MCG, Dia Rix and Aon.”
