Company History


Everest National is a subsidiary of Everest Reinsurance, which has roots back to 1973, when the company was formally established as Prudential Reinsurance Company, at that time a subsidiary of the Prudential Insurance Company of America. In 1995 Prudential successfully completed a public offering of 100 percent of Prudential Re's stock and the companies changed their names to Everest Reinsurance and Everest National, respectively. In 2000, as a result of a corporate restructuring at the holding company level, Everest National's ultimate publicly owned parent became Everest Re Group, Ltd.
