Founded in 1938 by Warren Bender, this CCA endorsed
partner and major supporter is one of the largest independently
owned insurance brokerage firms in Northern California.
Since the beginning there has been a focus that is
defined in their current mission of “providing protection,
superior service and education to those who matter most,
our customers.”
The family and their employees have worked diligently to
fulfill that mission. In 1982 Warren’s youngest son, Stephen,
took over the reins. Today, there are six family members
integrated into their 40+ organization. To those who
say the family-owned business in America is dying out,
we offer the Warren G. Bender Co. as a testament to the
health and strength of this cherished American dream.
The company’s steady growth over the past 75 years, despite
turbulent economic times, underscores their success
in protecting their customer’s businesses and assets, and
their unwavering commitment to superior service and education.
“Giving our customers the very best service that we possibly
can, and building vibrant working relationships, is what
this company is all about,” said Chris Bender, a grandson
of the founder.
While the company offers the entire range of insurance
products – including CCA-endorsed auto, home and workers’
compensation plans – it recently opened up group
health plans to CCA members. This should have you and
your staff leaping for joy, because you can lower your insurance
costs, and maintain or expand your coverages.
