Saham Re becomes SanlamAllianz Re

Saham Re has rebranded itself as SanlamAllianz Re. The company has also adopted a new visual identity.

This rebranding came following the merger between Sanlam and Allianz to create the joint venture “SanlamAllianz”, which is active in 27 African countries (excluding South Africa).

According to Ilyes Hassib, CEO of SanlamAllianz Re, the purpose of the rebranding is to make the company a pan-African reinsurer with a significant presence in Africa.

It is worth recalling that, in May 2022, the Sanlam and Allianz groups signed a merger agreement to create a pan-African non-banking financial services joint venture.

Named SanlamAllianz, the new entity was officially created in September 2023, after securing all the necessary approvals.
