Klinner Insurance welcomes Cordova agency and team

Klinner Insurance has acquired Cordova Insurance Agency, bringing together two independent agencies.
For the past 15 years, Jeremy and Carrie Cordova have built Cordova Insurance Agency of Merrill around the trust of their customers, the strength of their team, and a commitment to serving their community. As they prepare for their next chapter, Klinner Insurance is grateful for the opportunity to carry that legacy forward.

“We have tremendous respect for what Jeremy, Carrie, and the entire Cordova team have built,” said Jason Steliga, president of Klinner Insurance. “They have created an agency with a strong reputation, an excellent team, and a culture that aligns naturally with our own. We’re grateful for the trust they’ve placed in Klinner and genuinely excited to welcome the Cordova team into our organization.”

The acquisition comes as Klinner Insurance celebrates its 80th anniversary. Founded in 1946, the independent agency has grown throughout northern and central Wisconsin while remaining focused on the personal relationships and local service that have defined the company for generations.

For Klinner, the addition of Cordova Insurance Agency represents not only continued growth, but also an opportunity to bring together two teams that share similar values and a belief that taking care of people should remain at the heart of the insurance business.

One of the most important aspects of the transition is continuity for Cordova customers. The Cordova Insurance team will remain in place, and Klinner Insurance has entered into a long-term lease for the agency’s existing Merrill location. Customers will continue to work with the familiar professionals they know and trust while gaining the additional resources and support of the broader Klinner Insurance team.

“We know that relationships like these are earned over many years,” Steliga said. “Our responsibility now is to honor the trust Cordova’s customers and employees have placed in their agency while giving this talented team the support and resources to continue doing what they do best. We’re looking forward to learning from them, working alongside them, and building the next chapter together.”

Klinner Insurance also extends its sincere gratitude to Jeremy and Carrie Cordova for the thoughtful approach they took throughout the transition and for entrusting Klinner with the business, team, and customer relationships they have spent 15 years building.

As Cordova Insurance Agency becomes part of Klinner Insurance, the focus remains on what both agencies have valued from the beginning: serving people well, investing in strong relationships, and remaining an active part of the communities they call home.
