USI Insurance Services L.L.C. said on Tuesday that it has acquired Toledo, Ohio-based Brooks Insurance Inc.

Brooks is an independent insurance agency that provides coverage and service in northwest Ohio, southeast Michigan, and northeast Indiana. Brooks offers property/casualty, employee benefits, bonds/surety, homeowners, renters, automobile, watercraft and personal health insurance, USI said in a statement.

“In joining forces with one of the premier insurance brokerage and consulting firms in the country, our clients will continue to benefit from coordinated solutions and support on a local level, but now they also will be able to tap into USI’s resources, technical expertise and wide range of products and services on a national level.,” Dennis Johnson, president of Brooks Insurance, said in the statement.
