Take A Look At
CFM's Steady Progression

Central Mutual Insurance Company continues to grow due to several mergers during these years.
Concordia Farmers Mutual and Central Mutual Insurance Company merge into CFM Insurance, Inc., ranking CFM in the top three of the largest farm mutual insurance companies in the state of Missouri. The merger brings the increased capacity for business, additional expertise, the potential for advances in technology, and more excellent prospects for ensuring the future of the company for many years to come. CFM begins the process of converting all paper files to an electronic filing system.
The Company observes its 150th Anniversary. The anniversary year called for an exclusive commemorative logo design, numerous celebratory events and projects, and brainstorming what the 2020-and-beyond brand would look like and stand for.
The Company observes its 150th Anniversary.
In the process of honoring its 150th year in business, CFM also managed to mark a new, monumental milestone. While it wasn't without several challenges and set-backs, CFM Insurance made history in the insurance industry as the first-ever chapter 380 mutual insurance company to acquire a chapter 379 stock company.
CFM Insurance
The Company unveils its new brand. Built by Missouri’s many rural, interwoven communities, CFM has always made it their sole mission to religiously give back to each place its policyholders call home. This heartfelt mission (https://cfmimo.com/communityfirst) molded an entirely new CFM brand after its 150th year came to a close and morphed seamlessly into a similar marketing strategy for the revamped Cornerstone National Insurance (CNI) brand.
CFM
On March 1, 2019, Cornerstone National Insurance Company, based in Columbia, Missouri, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Innovated Holdings. Innovated Holdings, a CFM subsidiary, then contributed a large sum in paid capital to Cornerstone National Insurance Company on February 27, 2019. As a once small, modest Mutual, CFM proved what its newfound futuristic mindset was truly made of by taking on a stock insurance company comprised of a completely different product line and market than its own. This beneficial business move opened the door for CFM to offer its customers an Auto product (https://cfmimo.com/products/auto) – a policy line that hadn’t ever been on the table for promotion until then.
Stronger Together. On January 1, 2023, CFM welcomed two established Missouri Mutuals into our Insurance family through beneficial mergers. Lewis County Mutual Insurance Company and Meramec Valley Mutual Insurance Company merged into CFM Insurance, Inc.
Stronger Together. On July 1, 2023, through an advantageous merger, CFM welcomed Gasconade Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company into our insurance family. They are now CFM Insurance, Inc.
Stronger Together. Farmers Mutual Insurance Company of Daviess County, Farmers Mutual of Livingston County, and Farmers Mutual Insurance Company of Adair County merge into CFM Insurance, ensuring a lasting legacy for their policyholders and staff.
