We are excited to congratulate our subsidiary, transpack surveys GmbH, on 40 successful years as surveyors in Vienna.

The company transpack was founded in November 1977 by Mr Herbert Sommereder. In 1980, Mr Johann Brandl joined the company and led the firm as managing partner from 1985 until 2015. Mr Harald Bürger joined the company in 1983, was made partner and has been director since 01 January 2016.

In the early years, transpack primarily served the local insurance market in Austria and acted on behalf of local carriers. In the subsequent years and decades, successful business relationships with international underwriters developed, mostly in Germany, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom and Japan.

A further milestone was reached on 01 January 2002 when transpack was named Lloyd’s Agent for all of Austria.

On 31 December 2015, Mr Brandl retired, and in July 2016 Battermann & Tillery GmbH assumed all shares of transpack surveys GmbH. In this process, Mr Patrick Tillery was appointed managing director of transpack.

For the coming years, it is intended to further strengthen transpack’s market position and to expand the services offered. New clients were gained already in the first year after acquisition by Battermann & Tillery, and additional employees were hired. Moreover, a new IT system was implemented and a new quality management system was introduced.
