Who We Are
For over 70 years, Glatfelter Insurance Group has believed in doing the right thing for our clients, agents, communities and associates.

It is what drives us to innovate—the desire to deliver the best for our clients. Founded as The Glatfelter Agency, which is still in operation, the program basis of Glatfelter Insurance Group, Volunteer Firemen’s Insurance Services (VFIS), was founded in 1968. Throughout the years, Glatfelter has expanded to include specialized program business inclusive of public entities, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and religious organizations. Glatfelter provides their insureds with comprehensive insurance solutions including property, casualty, life insurance, and more. In 2018, Glatfelter joined American International Group (AIG) and is now part of the AIG family.
