Santa Ana, Calif. – CompWest Insurance, a member of AF Group, continued its expansion in California and the West, completing the third phase of its class expansion with a focus on 18 new manufacturing class codes. In total, the company has added more than 50 new classifications in 2019 that broaden its workers’ compensation appetite in construction, manufacturing and several other areas.

“We continue to see a strong demand for our comprehensive array of workers’ compensation solutions,” said Gene Simpson, vice president of Underwriting and Marketing at CompWest.  “This year’s expansion will help us continue to grow in the months and years ahead.  We have best-in-class products and industry-leading expertise. We also have a strong network of agents in California and throughout the West and we believe we’ve increased our value to them by offering a much broader appetite.”
