Inszone Insurance acquires Mena agency

Inszone Insurance Services acquired Mena Insurance Agency, Inc., commonly known as Mena Insurance. The deal further expands Inszone’s footprint in Arkansas. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Founded in 1911 by H.G. McLafferty, Mena Insurance has been part of the local community for over a century. Now led by its fourth owner, P.T. Plunkett, the agency has built a reputation as the “face of insurance” in Polk County. The company provides commercial, personal, and benefits coverage.

“We have always said that we are an insurance agency, but first and foremost, we are in the relationship business,” said Plunkett. “When looking at the future of the industry and planning our next steps, we saw many colleagues making similar moves. Inszone was the clear winner for us. We wanted a partner that shared our service-oriented values and emphasis on community, rather than a rigid corporate environment. After growing purely through word-of-mouth since 1911, we are incredibly excited to finally tap into the resources and digital presence that Inszone provides.”

“Mena Insurance has built an extraordinary legacy over the past century, becoming the absolute go-to agency in their region,” said Chris Walters, CEO of Inszone Insurance Services. “P.T. and his team operate with a 24/7 dedication to their clients, doing the volume of an agency twice their size. We are honored to bring their 150 years of combined experience into our organization and look forward to providing them with the expanded resources they need to continue their outstanding work.”

Sacramento, Calif.-based Inszone Insurance Service was founded in 2002 and has made acquisitions across Arkansas and in 21 other states.
