Sprunger Insurance Agency of Pandora has purchased Swiss Mutual Insurance Agency of Bluffton, according to Nathan Sprunger, owner of Sprunger Insurance.

“We are excited to have a greater presence in Bluffton. This is a great opportunity and we look forward to becoming part of the Bluffton business community,” said Sprunger.

Sprunger Insurance brings Western Reserve Group and Safeco Insurance into the companies already offered by Swiss Mutual. The current companies represented include Goodville Mutual, Progressive, Wayne Insurance Group, Mennonite Mutual Aid Society and Mennonite Mutual Insurance Company.
