Company History
Our roots trace back to 1917, when the S. Nissley Gingrich Agency began providing insurance services to businesses and families in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas. While the name changed to Gingrich Stoudt Insurance Agency in the mid 1970s, a commitment to providing quality insurance management and value-added services remained the same. In 1981, Gingrich Stoudt became a part of the Horst Group, a diversified group of companies with a more than 100-year history of construction & related services and property management.
In 1999, all Horst Group businesses adopted our parent company’s identity – changing our name to Horst Insurance – and sharing the strong brand characteristics the Horst Group is known for: honesty, integrity and doing the right thing.
Our emphasis has always been on growing our client base one referral at a time, while managing an acquisition strategy that targets select geographic regions and services. Insurance acquisitions included the Jones-Zink Agency, Hershey-Gibbel Managing General Agency and Lovell Insurance. In 1998, a series of acquisitions – including T.C. Hall & Company, Associated Professional Services, Eberle Insurance and Watson Insurance Associates – established a Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania branch office and a strong presence in the Delaware Valley. Other acquisitions included Peterson Harvey Associates, which established a branch office in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, Ephrata, PA-based Witwer Insurance Agency and Lancaster, PA-based InsuranceMasters of Lancaster.
