17 December 2025 — Marina MAGNAVAL
This month UNIQA is celebrating a significant milestone: since December 10, 1990 – exactly 35 years ago – the Group has been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange through its predecessor company (Bundesländer-Versicherung), UNIQA said on its website.

"For more than 200 years, people have insured what matters most to them with UNIQA. For 35 years, we have been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange, and about 25 years ago, we began our expansion into Eastern Europe, a region with 150 million inhabitants. Today, more than 17 million customers place their trust in us: over 13 million in CEE and nearly 4 million in Austria, where we are the most recognized insurance brand", said Andreas Brandstetter, CEO of UNIQA Insurance Group AG.

"With the IPO 35 years ago – back then as Bundesländer-Versicherung – we laid the foundation for a new phase of growth. The goal was to strengthen our equity base and position the company for the future in the capital market. The expansion into Eastern Europe came years later, but the step onto the stock exchange was crucial to make this development possible in the first place. Today, it is clear: The combination of tradition and capital market has given UNIQA stability and paved the way for long-term growth", commented Kurt Svoboda, Chief Financial and Risk Officer.
