Who we are

We were raised with Midwestern roots and built on small-town values—ones we’ve carried with us as we’ve grown from a local vehicle insurer into a nationwide presence.

Our name pays tribute to our history, but our service tells the real story of who we are and where we come from. Because while we may be a business with a bottom line, you’re never just a number.

We promise to always treat you as a person—one who deserves the best service, no matter who you are or what stage you're at in life.

Our history
1916
The first auto insurance policies

The Hardware Dealers Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Wisconsin begins writing auto insurance for its members. Previously, the company sold property and casualty insurance to Wisconsin Retail Hardware Association members. That small business is now known as Sentry Insurance—the parent company of Dairyland.

1953
Dairyland Insurance Company is formed

Stuart Struck, a University of Wisconsin–Madison professor, forms Dairyland Mutual Insurance Company of Wisconsin. The company begins selling specialty insurance for drivers who can’t get standard coverage because of poor driving records, little experience behind the wheel, or no prior insurance.

1966
Sentry and Dairyland

Sentry acquires Dairyland, which at the time wrote non-standard auto policies in 27 states. Sentry also begins to insure riders and their motorcycles.
