Mission Statement

Madison Mutual Insurance Company is dedicated to providing exceptional insurance products and service to our members and agency partners at competitive prices.

Our History

Madison Mutual was born because of one man who took action. In 1919, a man named Joseph Hlad was unsatisfied with the way his insurance company handled his claim after an auto accident. The owner of a local general store in Mont Station, Illinois, Hlad decided to take the matter in his own hands and develop his own auto insurance company.

Convincing 265 of his neighbors to contribute $20 each to form the company, Hlad created Madison County Mutual Auto Insurance Company, which opened for business in January 1920 inside Hlad’s general store.

Until the early 1980s, Madison Mutual exclusively wrote auto insurance policies, but that all changed in 1983 when the newly named Madison Mutual Insurance Company expanded into Home, Farm and Personal Umbrella lines. Madison Mutual currently serves customers in Illinois, Missouri, Indiana and Wisconsin.
