Our History

Tripemco Insurance Group’s journey began on March 7, 1983, led by three young, hardworking individuals: Paul Vaccarello, Emilio Grimaldi, and Mike Gravina, who collectively inspired our name, TriPEMco.

Tripemco began as a small full-service insurance brokerage offering home, auto, and commercial business insurance products. The company quickly opened offices in Toronto, Burlington, London, and St. Catharine’s, making them one of the largest independently owned brokerages in the area.

In 1985, Tripemco Life Insurance Agency was established, providing individual life products as well as group benefits plans. In 2001, the name of this division was changed to Tripemco Financial Services Inc. In 2011, Paul’s son Vince joined the business, answering phones, filing papers, and working alongside longtime bookkeeper, the late Darlene Bibby, and the accounting team.

Paul and his executive team of Vince Vaccarello (President), Anthony Domenici (Managing Partner), Ralph Vitello (Senior Vice-President), Anna Bonomo (Operations Manager) and Amie Burdett (Commercial lines Team Leader), have grown Tripemco into one of the most established independently owned brokerages in Ontario.

The future is bright as Tripemco continues to expand its innovative commercial insurance and financial product strategies and affirms its commitment of being trusted advisors to its clients.
