Hylant Toyotsu Insurance Services launched

Hylant and Toyota Tsusho America (TAI), a global trading and investment enterprise, have launched Hylant Toyotsu Insurance Services, a joint venture dedicated to serving Japanese-owned businesses operating in the United States.

With operations now underway as of April 1, 2025, Hylant Toyotsu provides tailored insurance brokerage and risk management solutions to support the complex needs of Japanese enterprises across multiple industries. The two companies said that the new firm brings together Hylant’s deep insurance expertise and Toyota Tsusho’s extensive global network to deliver comprehensive, client-focused services.

“Hylant Toyotsu represents the best of both worlds—combining Hylant’s long-standing experience in risk management with Toyota Tsusho’s trusted relationships and industry knowledge,” said Bubba Berenzweig, chief executive of Hylant. “We are excited to serve our Japanese clients with a new level of strategic risk guidance and personalised service.”

Toyota Tsusho’s insurance division, Loyalty Group Insurance Services, has been a provider of insurance solutions to Japanese businesses for decades. By partnering with Hylant, the joint venture offers enhanced access to tailored insurance programs, proactive risk consulting, and specialised coverage solutions.

“We are thrilled to see Hylant Toyotsu officially open its doors,” said Haruyuki Hattori, senior vice president & chief operating officer at Toyota Tsusho America. “Japanese companies operating in the US need a trusted partner that understands both their business culture and the complexities of the American insurance landscape. This joint venture is uniquely positioned to provide exactly that.”
