About Gibbel Insurance

The Gibbel Insurance Agency, Inc. has its roots in Lancaster County, specifically the Lititz area. In 1890, the directors of Lititz Mutual Insurance Company called upon Henry R. Gibbel and John W.G. Hershey to lead the young Lancaster area insurance company.  The relationship between Lititz Mutual Insurance Company and Hershey & Gibbel flourished.  In the 1920’s the Harleysville Mutual Insurance Company contracted with Hershey & Gibbel for their services as Managing General Agents.  This relationship grew and prospered for over 60 years.

In the course of serving the Lititz community, the Hershey & Gibbel local insurance agency has developed into a professional, full service, independent insurance office.  In 1993 the Hershey & Gibbel partnership was dissolved and Gibbel Insurance Agency, Inc was formed.  Our leadership today is comprised of Jim Gibbel and his son Ethan Gibbel.  Jim has been a managing partner at Gibbel Insurance since 1963.  Ethan represents the fourth generation of the agency and our intent to remain locally owned and locally committed to our insured’s and communities for generations to come.

Gibbel Insurance Agency, Inc has grown, prospered, and expanded its services and products since it originated in 1890, but its underlying philosophy has not changed.  We still strive to provide personalized service, customized coverage, and competitive prices to the Lancaster County area. Along with this goal, we value long term relationships that aim to raise the level of trust with all of our clients.  We offer a complete range of insurance coverage services including health, life, employee benefits, auto, boat, motorcycle, homeowners, rental, flood, business, and much more.   We do not just provide an insurance product--we provide security for our friends and neighbors.

Our employees are one of our greatest assets.  You will find them committed to serving you with their friendly spirit and wealth of insurance knowledge.  This combination will make doing business with the Gibbel Agency hassle free and give you the peace of mind that you and your loved ones are protected.
