Kaplansky Insurance Acquires Pike Insurance

March 10, 2020 by AC Editor

Pike Insurance is an independent insurance agency based in Orleans

Kaplansky Insurance has welcomed another independent insurance agency into the fold. The Needham-based agency announced that it has acquired the Pike Insurance Agency of Orleans. Founded in 1978 by Harry L. Pike, the agency has been servings its clients on Cape Cod for over three decades.

In commenting on his agency’s latest acquisition, Ely Kaplansky, President and CEO of Kaplansky Insurance, said: “Our acquisition of Pike expands our footprint in Massachusetts and particularly in Barnstable County.” Kaplansky Insurance operates 14 locations throughout Massachusetts. Following the acquisition, Kaplansky Insurance will maintain Pike’s present location at 8 Main St, Orleans, MA.
