The company focuses on insurance for businesses, homes and autos, farms, non-profit organizations, and special events.[1][2] The company headquarters is located in Appleton, Wisconsin, with an additional office located in Middleton, Wisconsin.

History

SECURA was founded in 1900 after a massive cyclone tore through New Richmond, Wisconsin, destroying homes and businesses, killing more than 100 people and injuring 500 others. To protect themselves and each other, 135 charter members in the Cicero Township developed The Farmers Home Mutual Hail, Tornado and Cyclone Insurance Company of Seymour, Wisconsin. In 1986, this insurance company was renamed SECURA.
