Hub International Limited continues its acquisition streak with GMG Group, Inc and its subsidiary, Meyers Glaros LLC. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Meyers Glaros, based in Merrillville, Ind., is one of the oldest independently owned insurance brokerages, providing commercial and personal insurance, as well as employee benefits services.

Caroly Hofstee (pictured above), president and CEO of Hub Midwest East, noted that Meyers Glaros has a strong market reputation.

“From their high-performing sales team of specialists to their strong relationships with top insurance providers, they will help us continue to advance our growth strategy in the region,” Hofstee said.

Managing partners Matt Glaros and Jeff Meyers, along with the Meyers Glaros team, will join Hub Midwest East.

“Hub is the perfect strategic partner for us as we look to accelerate our growth into the future,” Glaros said. “Joining Hub will give our clients and employees greater resources, expertise and opportunities.”

Following the acquisition, Meyers Glaros will operate as Meyers Glaros LLC, a Hub International company.
