Carl Schröter GmbH & Co. KG

About Carl Schröter

Carl Schröter is an assekuradeur founded in Bremen in 1868 with a focus on transport and special risks. The company performs tasks on behalf of insurance companies under their authority, without being a risk bearer itself: it assesses risks submitted for coverage, determines the coverage requirement, issues binding quotes on scope of coverage and premiums for the insurers it represents, and processes and settles claims in the insurers' name. Its customers are primarily insurance brokers in Germany and abroad. The service portfolio includes risk management, contract administration and premium accounting, the issuance of insurance certificates via the online applications WebCert, WebCert CARS and FIS (Fruit Insurance Services for perishable goods), as well as claims and recourse processing. For claims inspections, surveyors and average agents are deployed worldwide. The subsidiary CSIA has been registered as a debt collection company with the Local Court (Landgericht) Bremen since 2009. The headquarters are located in Bremen's Überseestadt district; a branch office exists in Vienna-Kagran.
