US Asian Risk Solutions

At Sompo, we understand the complex risks facing Asian companies operating in the US, Canada and Mexico. While there are strong business opportunities in North America, regulatory and liability exposures differ significantly from those found in Japan, South Korea, and other Asian countries. Sompo’s US Asian Risk Solutions team helps our Asian clients navigate North American exposures—and move forward confidently.

Sompo’s North America Asian Risk Solutions team works with businesses of all sizes across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, mercantile, services, life sciences, technology and more.

Whether your company is just entering North America or already has an established footprint, Sompo can help you better manage, retain and transfer risk. 

A commitment to exceptional client support

Each Sompo client works with a dedicated Client Relationship Executive (CRE), who serves as a point of contact for coordinated underwriting, claims support and customized risk control services. Our retention rate of 95% underscores the value that clients place on their partnership with Sompo.
