23 June, 2016 — ACE Jerneh Insurance Berhad (ACE Jerneh), a Chubb Company, announced today the official change of its legal entity name to Chubb Insurance Malaysia Berhad. The name change does not affect the company’s business operation in the country, and all rights and obligations between existing clients and business partners with ACE Jerneh remain unchanged and binding under Malaysian laws and regulations.
The change of the legal entity name is in line with the company’s ultimate parent company, Chubb Limited’s (formerly known as ACE Limited) name change following the completion of its acquisition of Chubb Corporation in January 2016. The historic acquisition created a global insurance leader under the renowned Chubb name.
ACE has had presence in Malaysia for over six decades. It acquired Jerneh Insurance Berhad in 2010 and upon merging the business and operations of both entities in Malaysia, the company was renamed ACE Jerneh Insurance Berhad. The name change from ACE Jerneh Insurance Berhad to Chubb Insurance Malaysia Berhad today signifies the completion of the company’s rebranding exercise that embodies a new look and feel of the Chubb brand.
“The new Chubb brand is synonymous with quality craftsmanship which reflects our ability to conceive, craft and deliver extraordinary insurance coverage and service that our customers deserve,” said Steve Crouch, Country President for Chubb Insurance Malaysia Berhad. “Our name is new in Malaysia, but our commitment remains the same – to provide our customers, business partners, employees and other stakeholders with superior quality and service that they have learnt to expect,” he added.
Beginning today, Malaysians will see the company’s new and colourful brand identity using nine colours to represent the Chubb brand and to reflect the brand’s cultural diversity and energy, thinking, global presence as well as the many different customers it serves and the myriad of products it offers.
