Our history spans a century and features both mergers and organic growth. Throughout this time our focus has always been on supporting and enabling trade.
Nederlandsche Credietverzekering Maatschappij (NCM), one of the first companies to become Atradius, was founded in the Netherlands.
Crédito y Caución was founded in Spain, before organically growing to become the dominant credit insurer and surety company on the Iberian Peninsula.
NCM partnered with the Dutch government to provide export credit services to Dutch companies on behalf of the Dutch State. This relationship still exists today through our affiliate Atradius Dutch State Business.
Gerling-Konzern Speziale Kreditversicherung (Gerling Credit) was established in Germany.
Gerling Credit and NCM merged to become GERLING NCM.
GERLING NCM rebranded to become Atradius. At the same time Swiss Re, Deutsche Bank, Sal. Oppenheim, Seguros Catalana Occidente and Crédito y Caución replaced Gerling Group as shareholders.
Grupo Catalana Occidente S.A. became the major shareholder of Atradius and Atradius teamed up with Crédito y Caución to further strengthen its position in global credit insurance markets.
