History of Tokio Marine General Insurance in Malaysia

About Tokio Marine Insurans
(Malaysia) Berhad

Tokio Marine's presence in Malaysia dates back to 1957, when the Tokio Marine and Fire Insurance Company Limited (TMF) commenced its underwriting business. Our Kuala Lumpur Branch Operation was then established in 1974, with the company growing from strength to strength to become one the major players in the local general insurance market.
 

Today, Tokio Marine Insurans (Malaysia) Berhad has 19 branches across the country and 1 sales office in Petaling Jaya, dedicated to providing innovative and competitive insurance - as we build on our proud heritage with customer focus as our top priority.
