ANV Launches ANV Comp and Appoints Leadership Team to Drive Growth

Specialty workers' compensation MGA begins a new chapter as part of ANV's growing portfolio of insurance distribution platforms.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ANV Group Holdings Ltd. ("ANV"), the global insurance intermediary platform, today announced the rebranding of Specialty Comp Insurance Solutions (SCIS) as ANV Comp, following ANV's acquisition of the business in June 2026. With approximately $250 million of gross written premium in 2025, ANV Comp provides specialized workers' compensation solutions to middle-market employers through its established wholesale distribution network.

The rebrand marks an important milestone in ANV's strategy to build a leading workers' compensation platform in the United States and reflects the firm's long-term commitment to investing in the business, expanding its capabilities, and accelerating growth.

To support this next phase, ANV has established a leadership team that combines deep industry expertise with a shared vision for the future of the business. The team will focus on delivering profitable growth, strengthening broker and client partnerships, enhancing product offerings, and expanding ANV Comp's market presence across the United States.

ANV Comp will be led by Robert Etzler, who joined ANV in March 2026 and brings more than 20 years of experience in workers' compensation and specialty insurance. Throughout his career, Etzler has held senior leadership positions at Arrowhead General Insurance Company, Atlas General Insurance Company, Midwestern Insurance Alliance, and Paragon Insurance Holdings. Etzler will also oversee Risico, ANV’s workers comp MGA with a focus on agriculture and food manufacturing industries.

He will work alongside Mike Beck, Chief Field Underwriting Officer, and Matt Feury, Senior Vice President, Underwriting, both of whom have been instrumental to SCIS's success and will continue to play key roles in the growth of ANV Comp.

"The launch of ANV Comp represents an exciting new chapter. We are building upon a highly successful platform with an experienced team, strong broker relationships, and a proven underwriting track record. Robert, Mike, and Matt bring exceptional leadership and deep market expertise, and with the full support of ANV, we are well positioned to deliver great value to our distribution partners and insureds," said Adam Karkowsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ANV.

As ANV Comp, the business will continue to manage a diversified portfolio spanning construction, utilities, business services, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, equipment rental and dealerships, waste management, earthmoving and excavation, forestry, logging and tree service, animal husbandry, oil and gas, and aviation. ANV Comp partners with an A- carrier for its capacity and remains committed to providing specialized workers' compensation solutions to underserved market segments through its established wholesale network.

"This is much more than a name change," Karkowsky added. “ANV Comp reflects our conviction in the strength of the business, our commitment to the workers' compensation sector, and our ambition to continue building a leading specialty insurance platform across the United States. We see significant opportunities to support our brokers with additional underwriting expertise and product capabilities, and a high level of bespoke committed service.”
