## Overview

Elba MGA Limited is a casualty, specialty, and credit lines MGA operating under the Elba Group brand from Galway, Ireland, with authorization to transact business across all EU member states and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (Registration No: C140324). Founded in 2015, the group targets capacity providers seeking access to European and international underwriting niches through an end-to-end placement and administration solution.

The group operates three distinct divisions: Excella, a pan-European MGA that underwrites casualty, credit and suretyship, agriculture, accident and health, specialty, property, marine, aviation, and engineering lines with capacity limits from USD 5M to USD 10M+; MarkenRe, a global reinsurance broking operation with expertise in London, European, Asian, African, and Latin American markets; and ExcellaRe, a reinsurance MGA focused on complex and specialty risk underwriting. The group also operates Insuretec, a seed investment initiative in the insurance technology space.

Elba MGA differentiates its operations through digitalisation and process automation, having selected the GIROUX MI and Data Analytics Platform in 2018 to integrate data from underwriting platforms, quote and bind systems, and spreadsheets into a unified self-service analytics environment with mobile capabilities. The platform supports KPI monitoring and data-driven capacity relationships. The group maintains offices in Ireland, London, and Seville, Spain, and serves markets across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
