Toronto, September 8, 2026 – As Canada recognizes National Trucking Week, Northbridge Insurance is also celebrating a significant milestone: 75 years of supporting the country’s transportation industry. For decades, Northbridge has worked alongside fleets, carriers, drivers, and broker partners, helping businesses navigate risk and keep goods moving across Canada.
Since its origins in specialized transportation insurance in 1951, Northbridge has remained focused on providing expertise tailored to the unique challenges of transportation businesses. Today, the company continues to support customers through specialized underwriting, risk management expertise, award-winning claims service, and industry knowledge.
“For 75 years, Northbridge has had the privilege of serving Canada’s transportation industry,” said Brian Mather, Vice President, National Transportation & Logistics at Northbridge Insurance. “While much has changed over the decades, our purpose has remained consistent: helping transportation businesses manage risk, enhance safety, and keep Canada’s economy moving. We have reached this milestone with support from customers, broker partners, and industry leaders who have trusted us to be part of their journey.”
Safety has remained a cornerstone of Northbridge’s transportation practice throughout its history. The company supports safer operations through risk services, fleet and terminal assessments, safety training, and industry initiatives. Through the Northbridge Transportation Safety Award, launched in 2021, Northbridge recognizes carriers demonstrating leadership and commitment to transportation safety.
Northbridge also maintains an active presence within the transportation sector through its involvement with industry organizations and initiatives focused on safety, education, and operational excellence.
As part of the anniversary celebration, Northbridge has launched a digital timeline thanking customers and highlighting key milestones from the past 75 years and the evolution of its transportation practice.
