Austin Mutual Insurance Company was established in 1896 when a group of Austin, Minnesota farmers and townspeople organized Farmers United Township Mutual Hail Association of Minnesota in order to provide crop hail and later farm windstorm insurance. In 1914, the Company moved from Austin, Minnesota to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Through the years the company has grown by company mergers, expanding its insurance product lines and states of operation. For over 110 years, Austin Mutual has built an excellent reputation through competent management and diligent customer service. Financial strength is a key to our success. Looking ahead, operations will be conducted in a conservative manner to ensure that policyholders are adequately protected and substantial surplus is readily available. Our mission is to build value and security for the lives of our policyholders by sustaining a profitable growth oriented organization. Austin Mutual is stronger than ever and we are proud to have great people that support our business.
