Peoples Insurance and Siouxland Insurance have been a staple of Rock Valley for a combined 42 years. Now, the two long-trusted insurance teams are coming together to offer even more ways to protect the individuals, families, and businesses in and around the community.

“By joining strengths and operating together as Peoples Insurance, we’ll provide a wider range of coverage options, a bigger team of friendly, familiar faces, and the same hometown service we have always provided,” says Peoples Insurance Manager Scott Mantel.

This collaboration will bring expanded insurance solutions, strengthened local support, and an even greater focus on protecting what matters most to those they serve.

What does this mean for customers?
  • More Options: Customers will have access to an even broader range of insurance products and carriers. This will help Peoples Insurance tailor coverage to your needs.
  • Enhanced Service: Peoples Insurance agents have a combined 111 years of insurance experience! With more support and resources, Peoples Insurance will continue to improve their tools, technology, and response times, while still maintaining the personal service you have come to expect.
  • Same Commitment: According to Mantel, “As Peoples Insurance grows, the team you know and trust is still here. Customers will continue working with our staff, and we’re excited to have Jeff Koldenhoven and Judy Schaap join us. We look forward to what we will accomplish together!”

“We’re excited about the future and truly believe this will bring our customers more value, peace of mind, and continued confidence in their coverage,” added Insurance Agent Jeff Koldenhoven.
