History
Custard Insurance Adjusters was founded by A.R. “Rick” Custard in 1962. Opening his first office in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Rick quickly began the expansion of CIA with office openings throughout the country.
When Rick opened this first office, he had a vision, formulated the strategy, and implemented the actions necessary for CIA to become the industry leader it is today. This self-made man knew the value of strong management and he acquired the best talent to help lead the company which contributed to the continued success of CIA.
Today, Custard remains the largest privately-held loss adjusting company in the country. Mr. Custard’s passion for CIA lives on in the current management team and all company employees. While Rick is no longer with us, the next generation of the Custard family remains intimately involved with the business and strives every day to promote his legacy.
