OUR FOUNDING PURPOSE

The founders had very high principles in mind when they started the company on April 20, 1925. And ERIE’s Founding Purpose has never been lost sight of since.
To provide our Policyholders with as near perfect protection, as near perfect service as is humanly possible and to do so at the lowest possible cost.

H.O. Hirt's napkin notes

 

We're committed to a culture of service.

Our founder H.O. Hirt raised the letters ERIE out of the word SERvIcE to remind us of the high bar we set for ourselves.

What’s our secret? It’s our agents and employees who follow the Golden Rule – treating others as you would want to be treated.
