More WIRE STORIES about this company

 PROFILE
Alleghany Corporation has three distinct foci. Its financial services arm consists of Alleghany Underwriting, a manager and provider of capital for syndicates in the Lloyd's insurance market. Its other units are Heads and Threads (steel fasteners) and World Minerals (the #1 producer of diatomite). Alleghany also has real estate interests in California. Under the leadership of chairman Fred Kirby, whose family owns about 35% of the company, Alleghany has refocused itself several times in moving from its origins as a railroad company. The company is buying property/casualty insurer Capitol Transamerica.
