Allianz Worldwide Partners Hong Kong Launch Brings Top-notch Services to Local Customers

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Journal of Transportation -- With the recent launch of Allianz Worldwide Partners (Hong Kong) Limited, Allianz Worldwide Partners is now accelerating the development of its business in the Hong Kong market. Greg Plifka, who has been active in the assistance and insurance industry throughout Asia since 2005, was named the company's General Manager as of February 1, 2016.

Leveraging Allianz Worldwide Partners' global expertise in assistance and insurance for the travel, automotive and international health sectors, the new Hong Kong business unit aims to provide its clients with innovative, one-stop insurance "plus service" solutions to meet their customers' needs.

Despite its recent entry into Hong Kong, the company has a longstanding reputation in the insurance and assistance market as it now combines the activities of Allianz Global Automotive and Allianz Global Assistance in Hong Kong.

The Automotive business has already been active in delivering motor insurance solutions to Hong Kong consumers through its global partners, including BMW and Volkswagen.

The Travel & Assistance business, meanwhile, has solidified its position among financial institutions in Hong Kong with innovative credit card solutions designed for customers of UnionPay, as well in the online space through partnerships with the leading travel agencies like Zuji.com.

Christophe Aniel, CEO for Allianz Worldwide Partners in the Greater China region, stated, "Allianz Worldwide Partners is committed to its clients in Hong Kong. With this new setup we position Hong Kong as a key pillar in our growth strategy across the region."

Plifka, whose previous role was Chief Underwriting Officer for Allianz Worldwide Partners in APAC, brings a profound knowledge of the Group's products and their performance into this new role. "We are thrilled to enter the Hong Kong market and believe in our ability to innovate and provide the most valuable services and insurance offerings to our clients and their customers," he said. "The company outlook in Hong Kong is very positive."
