History

  • 2019

    Consolidation of activities

    Česká pojišťovna bought the insurance portfolio of Generali Pojišťovna. Together, the companies combined their activities and are now operating under a new name, Generali Česká pojišťovna. The biggest insurer in the Czech market was thus established.

  • 2015

    New owner

    Generali CEE Holding became the 100% owner of Česká pojišťovna.

  • 2008

    Part of Generali PPF Holding

    Česká pojišťovna became a member of Generali PPF Holding, combining insurance and other activities of both groups in Central and Eastern Europe.

  • 1991

    Privatisation

    Introduction of the 'free market' brought a competitive environment to the business. Privatisation took place the following year and a joint-stock company called Česká pojišťovna was established.

  • 1971

    New logo

    Three linden leaves became the basis for the new logo of Česká státní pojišťovna.

  • 1969

    Establishment of state insurance companies

    Česká státní pojišťovna (Czech State Insurance Company) and Slovenská státní pojišťovna (Slovak State Insurance Company) were established.

  • 1945-1948

    Insurance market monopoly

    By decree of the President of the Czechoslovak Republic, the whole contractual insurance industry was nationalised in 1945. In 1948, the insurance market became a monopoly with the five existing insurers merged into a single entity - Československá pojišťovna n.p.

  • 1927

    100 years since establishment of the insurance company

    The company donated a stained glass window to St. Vitus Cathedral on the occasion of its 100th birthday. První česká vzájemná pojišťovna (First Czech Mutual Insurance Company) had a Thun Chapel window made, depicting motifs related to threats to life and property.

  • 1909

    Extension of insurance products

    To assist with the reconstruction of the National Theatre after the fire, the company paid 300,000 Austro-Hungarian guldens.
