UNIQA Czech R.
The Czech-Austrian Insurance Company (CRP), first established in the year 1993, is now known as UNIQA Poisova. As a holder of an universal insurance licence the company created a very wide range of products which covers the whole spectrum of the insurance market. The current range includes almost all classes of life and non-life insurance, e.g. property, liability, motor or accident insurance. UNIQA Poisova is one of the ten biggest universal insurance companies in the Czech Republic.
CAPITAL
The first and main shareholder of UNIQA Poisova is the largest Austrian insurance company UNIQA with an 83.33% share. The second shareholder is the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development with a 16.67% share, that participated at increasing UNIQA Poisova's share capital to 480 million CZK in 1999.
UNIQA
The best Austrian insurance holding was created in 1999 by changing BARC holding (Bundeslnder / Austria / Raiffeisen / Collegialitt) to the new holding UNIQA. The holding UNIQA has today approximately a 20 % share of the Austrian insurance market. UNIQA participates also in insurance companies in Slovakia (also within Insurope), Hungary, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
The general manager of the UNIQA holding is Herbert Schimetschek. Since the beginning of 1997 he is also the president of the supervisory board of UNIQA Poisova.
Thanks to the strong financial background and huge experience of the foreign shareholder, UNIQA Poisova quickly became a stable insurance organisation. With a capital of 480 million CZK, UNIQA Poisova today is one of the best capital-equipped insurance companies within the Czech Republic.
