Florida-based King Risk Partners has made another foray into Massachusetts with the acquisition of Acacia Insurance, an independent agency based in Waltham, Massachusetts. With this latest addition, the nation’s 51st largest insurance brokerage firm expands its presence in both Massachusetts and New England via its target expansion approach.

“Acacia’s commitment to making the unexpected uneventful for its clients resonates deeply with our mission,” said Scott Popilek, Chief Executive Officer of King Risk Partners. “We’re delighted to welcome the Acacia team into the King family.

With access to King’s extensive infrastructure and resources, our clients will gain an even broader range of options, while we’re able to devote even greater attention to providing the personalized support they value.”

With the addition of Acacia Insurance, King Risk Partners further accelerates its Northeast regional expansion while upholding its mission to offer innovative insurance solutions, client-focused service, and durable, sustainable growth.
