History

Brief Background

During the booming years in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a group of investors saw the need to help businesses and individuals acquire much needed insurance to protect against the unexpected. The intense efforts and great entrepreneurial spirits of all investors resulted in a successful business establishment, which was formed back in the early 1970s—a corporation known today as Pacifica Insurance Underwriters, Inc. (PIUI).

PIUI has now become a household name when it comes to both personal and commercial insurance lines in the CNMI. It continues to represent some of the world’s most distinct insurance carriers in an agent and broker capacity. And with close to 40 years of doing business, PIUI continues to remain confident and steadfast.
