About
Aitona is a story that spans generations.
Aitona means "grandfather" in Basque. And we didn't choose this name to look good: it's a tribute.
Nearly 60 years ago, in the Basque Country, a grandfather launched a business insurance brokerage. Thirty years after he passed, his grandson decided to pick up the idea, but in his own way: advice and people first, in a modern reality of international mobility (professional & personal).
Aitona follows a generational evolution path: a solid foundation, then adaptation to current times. Between a mother who's an expert in personal insurance, a father who's a doctor specialising in international health, and a passion for travel… Aitona was almost inevitable.
Our idea hasn't changed: understand first, advise second.
