About DUPI

We understand entrepreneurs because we share the entrepreneurial spirit and are innovators ourselves

As a specialist Managing General Agent (MGA) for renowned European insurers, we always strive to find the right solutions for business risks. We work exclusively through brokers, driven by a bold vision: to become the preferred underwriting partner for entrepreneurs, not only in the Netherlands but across Europe.

Our firm belief is that in principle, all risks can be covered by insurance
That’s why we never say “no” upfront when presented with risks

Our story

Since our establishment in 1988 as a Rotterdam-based P&I specialist, DUPI has grown into a broad specialist underwriter. Entrepreneurs from the Benelux, France and beyond trust us to protect their businesses against complex risks.

To meet our clients’ needs, we have offices in Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Antwerp, staffed by a team of more than 220 skilled professionals who share our ongoing commitment to excellence.

How we go about things

Every business is distinct, so there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to covering its risks. If the right cover isn’t available, we’ll explore ways to create an appropriate alternative.

Drive is in our DNA. We’re nimble and resourceful, and we always go that one step further for our clients. We keep on going to find a solution, even when other parties have given up.

The personal touch is important to how we do business. For us, it’s the quickest and most personal way to get results.

Our people are our strength. Meet our Management Team and Our Team, or read about DUPI’s culture.

What we do

DUPI offers a diversified portfolio covering both long-tail and short-tail risks, handling both frequent small claims and occasional large losses. We offer tailor-made insurance solutions in six business lines:

Within these lines, we also specialise in Renewable Energy, Owners P&I, Charterers Liability, EURO P&I and Shipping Defence. You’ll find more about the security behind our solutions here.

Alongside our broker relationships, we team up with distribution partners to grow together in specialist markets. Discover how we work with partners through Delegated Authority and other partnership models.

The DUPI 360 Underwriting Solutions

Our partners, brokers and their clients have one thing in mind: adequate risk cover. They’re not interested in the nitty-gritty details of categories or ticking boxes.

We’re determined to find solutions that combine the perfect mix of pricing, conditions and risk management. And we don’t stop at traditional boundaries. We go beyond the norm to cover not just your construction risks, but also, for instance, your associated transport and liability risks. It’s all part of our DUPI 360 Underwriting Solutions.

So, whether you’re a risk-taker or risk-averse, we’ve got you covered.

Part of SMABTP

Since 2024, DUPI has been fully owned by SMABTP, a leading French mutual insurance group specialising in construction. It’s the best of both worlds: our entrepreneurial spirit and specialist expertise, backed by the financial strength and international reach of a large European insurance group.
