With the 1999 acquisition of CIGNA’s worldwide property and casualty business, ACE inherited a distinguished history dating back to 1792 when the Insurance Company of North America (INA) was founded as the first U.S.-based marine insurance company. In Indonesia, ACE's presence can be traced to its root in PT. AFIA Indonesia as far as 1969.

The PT. ACE INA Insurance’s strategic focus on growth by diversification has helped make it one of the most innovative providers of commercial insurance in today’s Indonesian marketplace.
