The history of Russo Picciurro Maloy (RPM), and the entities from which we were formed, spans over 100 collective years. The Russo-Picciurro Agency was formed in 1976 with the merger of The Russo Agency, founded in 1926 by James Russo and The Picciurro Agency, founded in 1962 by Frank Picciurro, Sr. Prior to the 1976 merger the two Staten Island firms were affiliated through their combined ownership of Joint Agencies, LTD, creating one of the first insurance agency “cluster” operations in North America. Through the 1980’s and 1990’s, the Russo-Picciurro Agency grew predominantly through a mix of property and casualty business with concentrations in select, main street type commercial business and personal lines. Our strong agency relationships grew with Aetna Casualty & Surety Company, The Travelers and Excelsior Insurance Company.

In 1998 Russo-Picciurro Agency, LLC acquired the insurance operations of Frank B. Sterner and Company, Inc., which was founded on Staten Island, in 1913. Frank B. Sterner & Company was a Staten Island independent insurance agency with a reputation of maintaining high standards of service to its property and casualty clients. These operations were merged into Russo-Picciurro Agency LLC in May of 1998.

The Maloy Agency, Inc., which was incorporated on Staten Island in 1918, was acquired in 1999. At the time of its acquisition The Maloy Agency, Inc. was one of the largest and most respected independent insurance agencies in the New York metropolitan region. Its business involved a large personal lines property and casualty operation and a substantial commercial middle market property and casualty department. The Maloy Agency successfully represented, among others, Commercial Union, The St. Paul, Atlantic Mutual, New York Central Mutual and Chubb. In September 1999, their operations were merged into Russo-Picciurro Agency LLC and the trade names Russo Picciurro Maloy and RPM Insurance Agency were created.
