History

Established in 1967.

Back in 1967, when Edward B. Effrein established an insurance agency he chose close to 15 names, all of which were denied by the state of Illinois because they were too similar to names of existing insurance companies. Perhaps more out of frustration than genius, the name Astro was chosen as America sets its sights on putting the first man on the moon.

In the early 1990s, we changed the face of our corporate logo to that of a globe representing the earth. That globe more accurately spoke to our efforts as we became involved with new clients and insurance companies in Europe, as well as the Pacific Rim.

In retrospect, as forward-​looking as Edward B. Effrein may have been, it is certainly remarkable how prophetic that first vision was, as our business is now truly global in scope.
