Since the business began in the 1960s, Kiln has valued
its customers in mainland Europe, and was delighted
to establish a presence on the Continent in 2006 with
the acquisition of the Belgian marine underwriter,
Belmarine, which now trades under the Kiln brand.
The multilingual team offers lead capability on all classes of marine
business from their offices iin Liège and Frankfurt. In addition,
a dedicated team writes aviation and space business from Paris. All
three operations provide clients with direct access to a range of
Kiln products at Lloyd’s.

strength of its underwriting and its relationships.
