Allied World Assurance Company Holdings opened a new office in Atlanta, Georgia.

It was opened to expand distribution within the Southeast region of the US.

The Atlanta office will serve as a distribution point for Allied World Brokerage, a recently launched division of Allied World US that primarily trades with retail broking channels.

Scott Carmilani, President and CEO of Allied World, said: "Atlanta is an important strategic location, and our Allied World office is well-positioned to meet market demand in the southeast. I look forward to the opportunities this office will present our company and our clients and brokers."
