Acted as exclusive financial advisor to Buffalo, NY-based W.J. Cox Associates, Inc. (W.J. Cox) on its sale to Insurance Program Managers Group (IPMG). W.J. Cox has specialized in insurance and risk management solutions for the forest products industry since 1979.
W.J. Cox has built an outstanding reputation by delivering specialized insurance programs that combine disciplined underwriting, effective claims management, proactive loss prevention, and cost containment strategies. Through its comprehensive approach to risk management, W.J.
