Since its beginning providing policies to farmers in 1925, Nationwide has grown to become the 8th largest auto insurance carrier in the nation, writing auto coverage in all states except Alaska, Hawaii, Louisiana and Massachusetts. The famous “Nationwide is on your side” marketing slogan has been in use since 1966.
Nationwide has grown to offer far more than insurance. In 1997, Nationwide Financial went public and has grown to become a Fortune 100 company offering retirement plans, mutual funds and annuities.
