As part of the continuous evolution of Klapton Insurance Company Limited’s business model, the Board have decided to refocus Klapton’s activity on the sureties and guarantees business, together with developing our digital platform in core markets.
Therefore from 1 October 2021 for the African business and 1 January 2022 for Asia, Middle East and Latin America, Klapton will cease writing inward facultative reinsurance covers.
Klapton would like to take this opportunity to introduce Klapton Reinsurance Limited (“KlaptonRe”), who will be pleased to offer the same excellent service and capacity which Klapton has provided in prior years, to the facultative reinsurance market.
Introducing Klapton Reinsurance Limited
We are pleased to introduce Klapton Reinsurance Limited (“KlaptonRe”), a new reinsurance company registered and licensed in Zambia. KlaptonRe is a natural evolvement of Klapton Insurance Company (KIC), with its headquarters in Lusaka, Zambia. It is a fully-fledged reinsurance company that writes reinsurance business – treaty, facultative and different reinsurance schemes.
KlaptonRe commenced operations on 1 October 2021, initially for the Africa business and from 1 January 2022, the company will be writing business from Asia/Gulf and Latin America. The underpinning business model of KlaptonRe is anchored in a hub network both in Africa and Asia.
KlaptonRe is committed to providing reinsurance solutions through experience and knowledge by upholding innovative underwriting and prudent risk management for the client’s ultimate benefit.

The company comes to the market riding on a robust and latest core underwriting system called SICS NT supplied by DXC Technology.
