AHT Insurance expands manufacturing practice to Chicago

AHT Insurance adds Adam Billmeyer to the team to expand its manufacturing practice in Chicago.

AHT Insurance, a nationally recognized independent insurance brokerage, announces the expansion of its Chicago operations. Opened in 2014, AHT’s Chicago office has focused on the growth of AHT’s manufacturing, technology, and private equity practices. AHT’s growth in these areas, particularly the manufacturing space, has warranted the addition of Adam Billmeyer to the AHT team.

Billmeyer joined AHT as a Risk Consultant for the manufacturing practice on February 12. The addition of Billmeyer will reinforce AHT’s commitment to the manufacturing industry in the Midwest and further establish AHT Insurance as a leader in property and casualty insurance and risk management for manufacturers.

George Forrester, AHT Senior Vice President comments: “We are thrilled to have Adam join our team to provide more bandwidth to AHT’s packaging and processing machinery manufacturing practice as we celebrate our 20th year serving the industry. The growth of the practice in Chicago allows AHT to effectively deploy our proprietary systems and resources to our manufacturing clients in the Midwest.”

Prior to joining AHT, Billmeyer was a commercial sales executive for a large national broker. He has also acted in both marketing and business development roles for a successful, family owned business in the financial industry, specifically in advanced planning for families and businesses. Adam received his degree from the University of St. Francis.
