History

Sentry Insurance was founded in 1904 by members of the Wisconsin Retail Hardware Association, now the Midwest Hardware Association, to provide insurance for its members in the hardware industry. Its headquarters for many years was the Hardware Mutual Insurance Companies Building, built in 1922 and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Though supplanted by a new headquarters in 1977, the historic building is still in use by the company today.

The company also owns its own golf course, SentryWorld, which opened in 1982. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., it is regarded as a "destination golf course".

  • In 2015, Sentry entered an affiliation agreement with Hortica Insurance & Employee Benefits, adding a new line of business specializing in providing insurance and benefit programs to retail florists and related companies.
  • In 2014, Sentry purchased Anchor Management General Agency, establishing entry into the management general agency distribution model.
  • Also in 2014, Sentry began supplying its transportation clients with DriveCam in-car cameras.
  • In 2013, Sentry released a mobile version of its risk management portal.
  • In March, 2012, Sentry Insurance named Pete McPartland CEO. He previously had served as president and chief operating officer. In September, 2012, Sentry Insurance laid off 27 office workers and 144 home-based agents as it restructured its strategy for selling personal line policies. It launched a new independent agency, Point Insurance, to serve policyholders in central Wisconsin and offer Sentry products as well as those of other companies. The company subsequently received a 2013 Stakeholder Team Accomplishment Recognition(TM) (STAR) award from Demotech, Inc. for its operating results in 2012. The national award was based upon multiple financial measures; Demotech reviewed 2,736 property and casualty carriers, and Sentry was one of two companies in the Near National company classification to receive its top rating.

Sentry rebranded in 2016. A new Sentry word mark includes a symbol made up of two stylized single quote quotation marks paired up into a circle, reminiscent of the yin and yang symbol, representing two sides of a conversation. The negative space between the quote marks takes on the shape of an S. The company's previous logo was a minuteman image based on a sculpture of Capt. John Parker located in Lexington, Massachusetts.
