United Fire Group Inc
A property and casualty insurer based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United Fire Group (UFG) sells commercial insurance covering buildings, equipment, liability, and workers' compensation to businesses in industries like manufacturing, construction, and real estate. It began in 1946 as the United Casualty Company, founded by businessman Scott McIntyre Sr. in a two-story house outside downtown Cedar Rapids, and added "Fire" to its name in 1950 as it expanded into property coverage. Fun fact: it launched writing auto and liability insurance from that house and went public on NASDAQ in 1986.
