555 Westfield Insurance, the primary subsidiary of Westfield Group, is a multi-line provider of business property & liability insurance, personal lines insurance (including auto, homeowner's and specialty), agribusiness insurance, and surety bonds. Based in the small village of Westfield Center, Ohio, Westfield employs over 2500 nationwide including 1700 in their home office. Despite its rural location, it is the largest employer in rapidly-growing Medina County.
Westfield's products are distributed through a network of independent agents, and now the company has grown to become one of the top 50 property-casualty insurers in the U.S. It is also one of the nation's top-ten providers of farm insurance.
Westfield began as Ohio Farmers Insurance Company in 1848, when a group of farmers joined forces to insure their properties. In 2004, the company collected $1.4 billion in premiums. At the helm are Bob Joyce, Chairman & CEO of Westfield Group, Roger McManus, Chief Operating Officer, and Jim Clay, President of Westfield Insurance.
