Coface was created in 1946 as an insurance company specialised in export credit insurance. In 1992, Coface began its international development in the United Kingdom and Italy. In 1994, Coface became a private company and acquired German (AK) and Austrian (ÖKV) credit insurers. In 2002, Natixis Banques Populaires became its main shareholder. In 2011, Coface refocused its activity on credit insurance. The Group has been a listed company (Euronext, Paris – CAC Small) since 2014. Under the leadership of Xavier Durand, Coface has already successfully completed the plan ‘Fit to Win’ and has launched in 2019 a second plan “Build to Lead”.
