CAMBIASO RISSO HONG KONG: THE ITALIAN BROKER ESTABLISHES A STRATEGIC OFFICE IN GREATER CHINA UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF LARS MALM
Hong Kong – Cambiaso Risso Group, a leading international insurance broking firm with deep roots in the shipping sector, announces the opening of its new office in Hong Kong (pending regulatory approval), further advancing its long-term expansion strategy across the extended Asia-Pacific region.
The move marks a key milestone in Cambiaso Risso’s regional development, which began over 15 years ago with the establishment of Cambiaso Risso Asia in Singapore. The Group continued to strengthen its Asian footprint with the launch of its Indonesian office in 2024, and imminent entry into the Philippines.
Hong Kong, also as a gateway to Greater China, represents a crucial step forward. The region holds significant weight in terms of shipping tonnage under control and promises sustained growth across maritime and related industries. Its strategic location, business-friendly environment, strong talent pool, and logistical advantages make it the ideal initial base for Cambiaso Risso’s Greater China expansion and operations.
To spearhead this new chapter, Lars Malm will join Cambiaso Risso Hong Kong from 1st October this year with the responsibility of establishing the office and overseeing operations in the Greater China market.
Mr. Malm brings over 25 years of experience from The Swedish Club, where he held several senior management roles in Underwriting, Claims, and Loss Prevention. Most recently, he served as Chief Executive and Area Manager of the Club’s Hong Kong branch.
“At Cambiaso Risso, we strive to deliver top-quality service to our clients – says the Group Chairman Marco Risso – and Lars’ addition to our team is a significant step towards achieving this goal. With his extensive background and knowledge, Lars will add immense value to our services and support the continued growth of our Group”.
The opening of our Hong Kong office will further strengthen our solid position in Asia and facilitate our ambition to grow further” adds Mauro Iguera, CEO of Cambiaso Risso Group. “Our primary goal is to offer unparalleled service and add substantial value to our clients and partners in this vibrant region. With this new opening in Hong Kong, Cambiaso Risso Group will be better positioned to meet the unique needs of the Greater China market, bringing expertise and dedication closer to its clients”.
The expansion supports Cambiaso Risso’s continued growth in the marine insurance market, with the Group now servicing up to 11.000 vessels from 50 countries. The Group’s total workforce reaches 450 professionals, managing a premium volume of over USD 1 billion and generating USD 90 million in net revenue across broking, consultancy, shipbroking, and shipping agency services.
