Integrity Marketing Group, the nation’s largest independent distributor of life and health insurance products, has announced the acquisition of Twardowski Insurance Agency, an independent marketing agency headquartered in Denver.
The deal will expand Integrity’s life insurance distribution capabilities. As part of the acquisition, Zac Twardowski, president of Twardowski Insurance, will become a managing partner at Integrity. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Twardowski Insurance has tripled in size in the past year alone. The firm provides life, mortgage protection and final expense insurance through agents across the Rocky Mountain region. This year, Twardowski Insurance is on track to place more than $35 million in annual paid premium.
“Zac has shown both drive and work ethic right from the beginning of his career,” said Bryan W. Adams, co-founder and CEO of Integrity Marketing Group. “Innovation is driving our industry and Integrity’s proprietary resources give energetic partners like Zac the tools they need to shape the future of insurance. His perspective and example will empower other agents looking to create a path to partnership. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for Zac and his team as we welcome Twardowski Insurance to the Integrity family.”

I’ve never been afraid to work hard, and I want to show others where hard work and the right partner can take them. I’m so proud to partner with Integrity. To say I’m thrilled would be an understatement.”
