Allianz clients also benefit from studies undertaken by The Allianz Centre for Technology (AZT), one of the world’s foremost research facilities into risk and safety.
The AZT is the Allianz specialist institute for risk, safety, technology and sustainable development. The role of AZT in providing independent technical assistance in claims and loss prevention is unique in the insurance world. The work of the centre focuses on improving technical and operational safety, assessing technical and new technology risks, and analysis of damage and the causes of fire.
Consisting of around 90 engineers, physicists, chemists and technicians and based in Ismaning near Munich, it provides the Allianz global network and third party customers with technological expertise, performing over 800 research contracts per year with a budget of over €13 million (2003).
It also provides training and consultation in relation to risk management issues, and works closely with the BMW Williams team on safety aspects in Formula One motor racing as well as with the BMW Oracle Racing team (www.bmworacleracing.com/en) in their bid for the 32nd Americas Cup.
This dedication to understanding clients’ risks sets Allianz apart from our competitors, and shows our clients that they are dealing with specialists who truly understand their businesses.
