1999
Acquisition of Seaboard Life Insurance Company

In 1999, Industrial Alliance purchases Seaboard Life Insurance Company, a Vancouver-based company founded in 1912. Seaboard Life is then merged with Industrial Alliance Pacific.

This acquisition allows Industrial Alliance to make great strides in western Canada. Industrial Alliance Pacific becomes the largest insurance company with a head office located west of Manitoba.

Today, Industrial Alliance Pacific operates primarily in the western provinces and Ontario. It offers:

	the same insurance products and financial services as the parent company, Industrial Alliance Insurance and Financial Services.
	creditor insurance products to automobile dealerships, a sector in which it is currently the Canadian leader.

It is also responsible, within the Industrial Alliance Group, for developing the special risks market for students, employers and associations.
