Company History
The Mavon story began over a century ago, when Girard Aloysius Mavon founded G.A. Mavon & Co. in 1916. Before this, he enjoyed a well-earned a reputation as a determined businessman, traveling door-to-door by bicycle, selling insurance to the locals as a field man for the Dubuque Fire and Marine Company.
Once Mr. Mavon established his own managing general agency, he opened an office on South Halsted Street in Chicago and eventually moved to the Insurance Exchange Building in downtown Chicago, where the agency remained for 50 years. In 1979, G.A. Mavon & Co. moved into its own distinctive building at 10 W. Chicago Avenue in Hinsdale.
Throughout its extensive history, Mavon & Co. has served as both a managing general agency and a general agency for many prominent insurance companies. Gamco Premium Finance Co. opened in 1967 to serve Mavon agents and brokers with in-house financing. And in 1972, Mavco Insurance Agency opened its doors as an independent agency for direct insurance sales to the buying public.
