Thinking of becoming a Buckeye Insurance Group agent?
Buckeye was established in Ohio in 1879 as The German Baptist Mutual Fire and Lightning Insurance Association. Significant growth followed in the 1950s and ‘60s through increased business and absorption of small farm mutual companies.
Continued growth expanded with opportunities outside of Ohio and includes our entry into the following active states:
Indiana (1985)
Kansas (1995)
Nebraska (2003)
Iowa (2004)
South Dakota (2006)
Colorado (2006)
Throughout the years, we have positioned the stability and success of our company on the strength of a dedicated staff of agents and employees. We believe an agency’s committed, conscientious attitude toward their clients and community reflects our interest in the people we serve.

other mid-sized regional carriers. Our agents’ web site, Buckeye Online, gives
