BITCO Insurance Companies

Protecting the industries that drive America's economy takes more than insurance policies. It takes people who understand the risks. Our Oklahoma Risk Control team recently attended The Petroleum Alliance of Oklahoma's Sine Die event representing Old Republic Bitco. This team is committed to supporting customers across Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas, and Missouri. The best partnerships are built long before a claim ever happens.

Two leaders. Two regions. One exciting chapter for Old Republic Bitco 🎉 Michael Minnaert joins us as VP of Distribution for the Central Region, bringing 15+ years of experience in underwriting and broker relations. Michael has built a reputation for driving growth through strong partnerships and a strategic mindset. Chris Phillips steps into his well-earned role as VP of Distribution for the Eastern Region. Since joining OR Bitco in 2006, Chris has been a cornerstone of this organization. His experience in both claims and underwriting makes him the perfect fit to lead our Eastern distribution strategy. Together, Michael and Chris will focus on strengthening partner relationships, collaborating with our underwriting teams, and growing our market presence across the country. Please join us in congratulating Chris and welcoming Michael to the team!

In the month of May we take time to reflect and celebrate the important role that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) have played in our shared history.

At Old Republic Bitco, Care is one of our four core values. It shows up in how we invest in our people, how we serve our policyholders, and how we show up for the communities around us. We're growing, and we're looking for people who want to be part of something that gives back (in every direction).

April showers bring May flowers (and a lot of new talent, too!) Last month, we hosted our first new hire orientation of 2026 - and it’s only up from here. Drop a 👏 in the comments to welcome our new team members!

Not all work happens behind the desk 🚗 Our team has been busy with regional visits across the country. Meeting with team members face-to-face. Better understanding their needs. And of course, connecting over a meal or two along the way.

This week, May 4th - May 8th, we are proud to support #ConstructionSafetyWeek and the shared commitment across the industry to protect lives on and off the jobsite.

This month is a reminder to pause, check in with ourselves, and create space for open, supportive conversations.

We’re proud to introduce our new brand name: Old Republic Bitco Our brand name is evolving as part of a broader alignment across Old Republic, bringing greater clarity across our family of companies while strengthening the way we show up together. What’s not changing: our team, our guiding principles, or the way we serve our partners and customers. Long-term stewardship and excellence remain at the core of everything we do, and our updated brand name and visual identity reflect that shared foundation.
