History and Development

Webový obsah - zobrazení Webový obsah - zobrazení

The tradition of Česká pojišťovna dates back continuously from 1827, when the První česká vzájemná pojišťovna (First Czech Mutual Insurance Company) was established in Prague.

Initially this insurance company only operated building fire insurance. In the second half of the 19th century První česká vzájemná pojišťovna was such a strong institution that it was not even affected by a number of large fires at the end of the century, including the biggest insured event in the 19th century which was the fire of the construction of the National Theatre.

In the early 20th century the První česká vzájemná pojišťovna began offering its clients life insurance, burglary insurance and statutory liability and accident insurance.

After 1948 the single Československá pojišťovna was established which held its monopoly position until 1991 when the Insurance Act liberalised the insurance market and allowed the entry of other insurance companies. By the end of 1999 there were 42 insurance companies on the Czech market. However, even in today's highly competitive environment Česká pojišťovna still holds its prominent position.
