Crawford & Company Adjusters (Malaysia) Sdn.Bhd commenced its operations in Malaysia in 1978 following the purchase of the firm of Syarikat Equitable Adjusters Sdn Bhd, which had been founded in Penang in January 1970 and which then had offices in Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur. In 1979, the name was formally changed to Thomas Howell (M) Sdn Bhd in June 1979 and three year later to Thomas Howell Kiewit (M) Sdn Bhd. Following the acquisition of Thomas Howell Group by Crawford & Company, we changed our name to Crawford & Company Adjusters (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd., in January, 2000.
The Company’s pursuit of excellence continued with the introduction of new products and services, one of which was the provision of outsourced claims management services. This new and innovative service, won us the "Innovation of the Year" award at the Asia Insurance Industry Awards, 1999 held in Singapore. We were again voted the “Adjuster of the Year 2002” at the 6th Asia Insurance Industry Awards held in Tokyo in October 2002 and organised by The Insurance Review and The Review. This award is in recognition of our ability to respond to catastrophic occurrences and to the smaller but high frequency travel and health insurance portfolios of our customers as well as in our diverse expertise and strong capability for innovation.
