The firm was established in 1897 and initially offered personal insurance products under the guiding principle of "Protection and Security," being an early adopter of bundled insurance policies.
In 1999, Allstate Insurance Company, headquartered in Illinois, purchased the personal lines insurance operations from CNA Financial, which was refocusing on commercial insurance sectors. The following year, Allstate rebranded this division as Encompass.
Encompass markets its insurance solutions through a network of over 6,500 independent agencies spanning 42 states.
The company served as the title sponsor for the Encompass Championship Tour celebrity pro-am golf event held in Tampa, Florida in 2012 and later in Glenview, Illinois from 2013 through 2015.
