Arnold K. Davis Insurance Merges with Eifert, French & Ketchum Insurance

After 60 years of representing clients from their NYC and Purchase offices, Arnold K. Davis Insurance has recently merged and become a division of Eifert, French & Ketchum (EFK). EFK is an Independent Insurance and Risk Management Agency headquartered in Pelham, N.Y.

Robert A. Davis, the President of Arnold K. Davis Insurance and second generation Principal, has worked for the past 45 years to maintain the philosophies set forth by his father who founded the business in 1954. Always regarded by his clients as a man of high ethical standing, it has remained important to him that he serve as an advocate for his clients and oversee their personal and business insurance needs in a unique, personalized manner. When the time came for Robbie to consider a succession plan, he was dedicated to finding another agency that shared these same values. After meeting with Eifert, French & Ketchum, it was quickly apparent that this would be a perfect match

Eifert, French & Ketchum is a third generation agency with 2 offices in Westchester County and another office in Bergen County, New Jersey. Founded in New York City by Alan Eifert in 1933 they moved to Westchester County in 1969. Over the years EFK has acquired many firms, and the recent addition of Arnold K. Davis Insurance will perpetuate this long line of successful mergers. As a division of EFK, clients and policyholders of Arnold K. Davis Insurance can expect the same level of personal service and representation that they’ve grown accustomed to, but now they have access to a broader range of insurance options. EFK represents more insurance carriers from which they can custom design coverage to meet the specific needs of both individuals and businesses from each of their local offices.

The counselors at Arnold K. Davis Insurance have long prided themselves on the customer service that they provide. In fact they attribute this dedicated and prompt customer service as the reason that they have so many long-term client relationships. Over 90% of their clients remain with them for 20 years or more which is very impressive. Of notable importance, Eifert, French & Ketchum shares this very principle, and for over 80 years they have provided the same attentive and responsive service to their clients on a daily basis.

“The insurance marketplace is more complicated than ever,” said Brian H. Eifert, President of Eifert, French & Ketchum. “Offering a broad base of solutions is what Arnold K. Davis Insurance is all about and we are excited to welcome them into our family.”

Both agencies understand that the insurance world has become increasingly more complex with ever constantly changing laws, policies and exposure to risk. Identifying risk and addressing it is crucial and sometimes is difficult to keep up with, let alone identify. As such, both Eifert, French & Ketchum and Arnold K. Davis act more like consultants than brokers. They are trusted advisors to businesses and individuals and they seek out the best possible solutions for their policyholders.

These companies have a long history in Westchester and plan to remain in the County. Arnold K. Davis Insurance and their team of experienced professionals have already moved into EFK’s Pelham headquarters. Together, the agencies have a similar corporate culture and set of beliefs. Their objective is to successfully demonstrate that there is a way for businesses to join together without losing sight of the most important part of their businesses, and that is their clients.

“We focus on our client’s needs and that is what has made us successful for over 60 years,” said Robert A. Davis. “EFK shares the same passion and is the perfect partner for our future growth.”
