Our History

Welcome to the Diederich Insurance Agency, where our journey began in 1972 when we proudly acquired an established agency that dates back to 1949! Since then, we have evolved into a vigorous nationwide presence—licensed in all 50 states—under the inspiring leadership of our Chairman and CEO, Jeffrey M. Diederich. Joining us in 1993 and stepping into ownership in 2002, Jeffrey has been instrumental in our growth and success, guiding our team with vision and dedication.

 

From our corporate headquarters in Marion, IL, and our seven strategic offices located in Atlanta, GA; Austin, TX; Chicago, IL; Denver, CO; Philadelphia, PA; Sacramento, CA; and Tampa, FL, we are thrilled to offer you a wide array of insurance solutions tailored to meet your unique needs! We take pride in providing exceptional service, always placing our clients’ well-being at the forefront of everything we do.
