Dear customers, partners and visitors,
A bold evolution
Groupe Ostiguy & Gendron, a pioneer in property & casualty insurance brokerage since 1991, is taking a decisive step forward. In keeping with our spirit of innovation, we have become Covalen.
Stronger together.
Why Covalen?
Our new name is inspired by covalent bonds in chemistry, symbolizing the strength and stability of the bonds we create:
Co
Valent

National presence
We have a date with history. Let's write the next chapter together.
Covalen is inspired by the covalent bonds in chemistry, which are renowned for their strength. It symbolizes the strength of our relationships, our commitment to working closely with our customers, and our drive to build sustainable, high-performance solutions. CO stands for Together, and Valent evokes capacity, vigour, and strength. Covalen means "strong together." There's strength in unity!
This change reflects our evolution and our ambition for growth. The name Ostiguy & Gendron had become limiting for our aspirations. We also needed to standardize the brand to reduce confusion among our customers. Covalen symbolizes our determination to adapt to an ever-changing market while remaining true to our core values of innovation and insurance excellence.
Join the Covalen adventure.
"We are Covalen" is not just a slogan. It invites a new era of excellence, ambition and creativity. Together, we will push back the boundaries of the industry, create innovative solutions and build lasting relationships of trust.
