HDI Global SE

HDI traces its origins to 1903, when German iron and steel companies formed a mutual liability association. Today, HDI Global SE is a Talanx subsidiary responsible for the group’s Corporate & Specialty insurance business.

The company provides insurance for industrial, commercial and mid-market clients, with core lines including property, general liability, motor, marine and transport insurance. It distributes primarily through brokers and combines local underwriting with a network covering more than 175 countries.

HDI Global is especially strong in multinational insurance programmes and large, technically complex risks. Its 2025 portfolio was concentrated in property and liability, which together represented 77% of gross written premium, while its financial-strength ratings were AA- from S&P and A+ from AM Best.
