World Insurance Associates LLC, a New Jersey-based firm that ranks among the top 50 insurance brokerages in the United States, acquired Fillmore Insurance Agency of Brooklyn, New York on March 1, 2026. The transaction, announced June 29, 2026, adds a Brooklyn presence to World's brokerage network. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The Transaction

World Insurance Associates, headquartered in Iselin, N.J., closed the Fillmore deal on March 1, 2026, absorbing the Brooklyn-based agency into its operations. The gap between closing and public announcement — roughly four months — is common in middle-market brokerage acquisitions, where integration work often precedes formal disclosure. No purchase price, revenue figures, or headcount data were released by either party.

Fillmore's Geography and World's Network

Fillmore Insurance Agency operates out of Brooklyn, one of the most densely populated insurance markets in the Northeast. The borough's mix of residential, commercial, and light-industrial clients represents a broad book of risk — property, liability, and specialty lines — though the specific composition of Fillmore's book was not detailed in the announcement. For World, the acquisition extends its presence deeper into New York City's outer boroughs.

World's Standing in the Brokerage Market

World Insurance Associates carries a Top 50 Insurance Brokerage designation, a marker that reflects both premium volume and geographic reach across the national market. The firm is based in Iselin, N.J., positioning it squarely in the dense mid-Atlantic corridor where independent brokerages have been consolidating steadily. World did not specify how many agency acquisitions it has completed to date, nor did it outline a forward acquisition timeline in connection with the Fillmore announcement.
