Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (AJG) is a US-based global insurance brokerage and risk management services firm headquartered at the Gallagher Centre in Itasca, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago). The firm was established in 1927 and is the third largest insurance broker in the world. 〔http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/3e10faa8#/3e10faa8/74〕 ==History== The company dates back to 1927 when Arthur James Gallagher started a brokerage firm in Illinois. The end of World War II brought his three sons, John, Jim, and Bob, into the business. The company incorporated in 1950 when revenues were $175,000. In 1957, the firm reached a high point of its history thus far, winning Beatrice Foods Company as a client, usurping the nation's largest brokerage. Despite the stiff competition in a crowded domestic market that put steady downward pressure on property and casualty premiums during the 1990s and dating back to the late 1980s., the firm was still able to record double-digit growth in all but three years from 1990 through 2000, according to ''Investor's Business Daily.'' Gallagher's relatively large size gave it an advantage and helped it gain larger, more profitable clients and outpace the thousands of small brokerages vying for a piece of the market. Those smaller firms also had been buyout targets for Gallagher. The firm purchased 16 more during 2000. The firm had grown its presence to include about 50 U.S. cities. In 2010 Gallagher Brazil was established following the company's takeover of Securitas Re of São Paulo from Estater Gestao de Investimentos Ltda.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AJ Gallagher Buys Brazil Facultative Reinsurance Broker )〕 In July 2015 the firm was ranked third in the ''Best's Review'' world's largest brokers list.〔http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/3e10faa8#/3e10faa8/74〕 A history and the values of the firm were documented by Robert E. Gallagher and Alison Kittrell in a book called '' The Gallagher Way, ''published in 2005 by Marketing Counsel and iUniverse. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur J.
