History

2011 - present: Innovation and internationalisation
In October 2011, CED reaches an agreement regarding the sale of Meditel. The sale is in line with the strategic choices which CED made to concentrate on its core business; loss adjustment and claims management. The takeover of CSP SA in Madrid in the summer of 2011 has resulted in  CED also becoming the market leader in the field of loss adjustment and claims management in Spain. In early 2011, the Belgian loss adjustment office Jordens & Mertens and the Spanish claims loss adjustment office GTP Arquitectos e Ingenieros are taken over. A new product, Claims Insight, is introduced by Interiura and offers customers 24/7 online insight of their international claim files.

2009 – 2010: CED Benelux market leader and next step in Europe
Acquisition of the Groupe Pol Louis Expertise in Belgium. Joint venture with the French Eufex loss adjustment company. The acquisition of Interiura, a claims management company with 13 of its own offices and 28 representatives throughout Europe. This network forms the foundation for the ambitions that CED has for European growth.

Change of the Board
In June 2009 Mike van Emmerik joins as a member of the Board of Directors of CED Holding and becomes responsible for the Dutch activities. Johan Waaijer, chairman of the Board of Directors, retires after nineteen service years, in the spring of 2010.

2005 – 2008: Expansion, first steps abroad and insourcing
A further broadening of activities, acquisitions, in-sourcing and internationalisation. Just some of the many developments: the acquisition of assessment activities from Nationale Nederlanden, ITS, HDS GROEP, Strator Genius Nederland, SGS, Risk Care. A whole range of new services, including Cross Border Claims, Pandora, FLEXSys, Photographic Buildings Evaluation (FWG) and WISE.

1998 – 2004: Result driven, process automation and acquisitions
At the end of 1997 CED becomes a holding company with a number of independent business units. The company provides technical assistance, particularly by means of automated processes. Profitability starts to develop well. Acquisitions in this period: EMN Expertise, Medisch Advies Bureau Brans & van Wingaarden and Medisch Keuringsinstituut Meditel.

1990 – 1997: The beginning of diversification
In 1990, CED merges with Bergweg Michels Expertise and changes its name to CED Bergweg. By doing this, CED becomes the market leader in the motor vehicle claims market. It also embarks on a number of new insurance activities: buildings, contents and personal injury. The acquisition of NOMEX also makes CED the market leader in the fire claims market. CED becomes a real claims process manager.

1980 – 1989: From foundation to a profitable company
At the initiative of insurers, CED breaks away from the NVVA in 1980 and gains non-life insurers as its shareholders. CED is now a  private limited company and its aim is to grow and make a profit.

1971 – 1979: The beginning of outsourcing
In 1971, the Centrale Expertise Dienst (CED) is established. Members of this foundation were insurers.
