A century of local service

In 2022, Berry Insurance Celebrated 100 years of business. In that time, a lot has changed here at Berry Insurance. Some of it we credit to our own growth and evolution, and some has just occurred in response to how much the insurance industry has changed over the last century.

Check out the video to the left to learn about the origins of the agency (did you know it started out of a kitchen?), how it has evolved from early to current days, and where the agency is going in the near future (hint: we're growing).

Our century-long history

The world (and Massachusetts) has come a long way in the last 100 years. Berry Insurance has been there through it all -- recessions, economic booms, technological advances, and even a global pandemic. 

Most importantly we’ve kept up to date on all of the tricky Massachusetts insurance requirements and our community’s specific needs, all while growing along the way.

2017

Kaitlyn & Chris Pintarich purchased Berry Insurance from Bob Berry upon his retirement. The new legal name of the agency became Alexia Insurance, Inc. dba Berry Insurance.

Why Alexia? They chose the name because it means “someone who is always willing to help.” It also derives from Alexander/Alexandra, which translates to "defender of man"/"protector of man" in Greek. That about sums up everything an insurance agent hopes to do!
