History
[edit]Originally named the Automobile Mutual Insurance Company of America, Amica was founded in 1907 by A.T. Vigneron in Providence, Rhode Island. Amica was organized as a mutual insurance company, meaning that company was owned by policyholders rather than stockholders.[citation needed]
In 1941, Amica opened its first branch office in Boston, Massachusetts, and now has 44 locations nationwide. The company added homeowners’ insurance in 1956, and later added marine and umbrella insurance.[2]
In 1994, Amica’s corporate office moved from Providence, Rhode Island, to a larger campus in nearby Lincoln.
In 2007, Amica celebrated its 100th year of business.[3]
