Hausmann-Johnson Insurance and The Benefit Services Group, Inc. are now Hausmann Group

I have exciting news to share with you: Hausmann-Johnson Insurance and The Benefit Services Group, Inc. are now Hausmann Group. We have unveiled a new name, logo, and website as part of this extensive rebranding initiative.

After 34 years of providing benefit services to employers and 75 years in the insurance industry, our new chapter is characterized by growth and fortification for the future. Bringing together our two companies under one name symbolizes the respect we have for our past and the ambitious plans our partnership has for the future.

We take enormous pride in the collaborative work environment we’ve created with our employees and the relationships we’ve established in the community. Our commitment to our clients’ success will always remain our number one priority and was a driving force behind this rebrand.

We will build upon our strengths of being a multi-faceted, service-focused agency as we continue to serve you from our offices in Madison and Pewaukee, WI. If you have any questions about our rebrand, please reach out to me or any member of your Hausmann Group team.
