Like many that offer homeowners insurance, The Automobile Mutual Insurance Company of America (Amica) began as a mutual automobile insurance company.

Amica was founded by prominent businessman Adolph T. Vigneron in 1907 in Providence, RI. Vigneron was vice president of the Associated Factory Mutual Fire Insurance Companies and believed that its policies that led to lower insurance rates for factories could apply to automobile insurance as well.

Amica celebrated 100 years of business in 2007.

A mutual company, Amica is owned by its policyholders rather than stockholders. It is the oldest mutual insurer of automobiles in America.

Variety of coverages available

The company moved its corporate offices from Providence to a larger campus in nearby Lincoln in 1994. It has 40 offices across the country.
