Vientiane, Laos – Forte-Toko, a premier general insurance company, has unveiled a refreshed logo and tagline ‘Live with confidence.’ to mark the next phase of the company’s growth.

Forte-Toko will now be known as Forte to align with its headquarters in Cambodia, where it has been well established for over 20 years as the largest general insurer and also a fast-growing life insurer.
As part of its brand refresh, Forte has sharpened its vision, mission and values to emphasise its focus on providing innovative customer-focused products and services and expanding their general and life insurance offering across more markets in the region.

The brand development and new tagline, ‘Live with confidence’, aim to humanise insurance and financial services in an empowering way while taking a stand on sustainable growth and building capacity in people.

Charles Cheo, Group Executive Chairman of Forte, said “Forte has built our success upon being customer-focused, forward-thinking and innovative over the past two decades. We believe that building stronger brand equity, coupled with our strong financial outlook based on our ‘AA’ Global Credit Rating Co ranking in terms of national financial ratings, will add value for our shareholders and transform Forte into a regional player. We look forward to even more successful decades to come.”

Mr Youk Chamroeunrith, Group Chief Executive Officer of Forte, said “It’s time for us to move forward and modernise for today’s digital age. Our refreshed brand identity signifies confidence and optimism in moving forward as one Forte family with a strong purpose, aligned with our vision to protect and empower everyone in the region for a better future – one person, one business at a time.”

It signals our intent to empower people by providing them with a safety net which enables them to have the courage to achieve their aspirations. Our brand evolution was done sensitively while staying true to our heritage and history to give our brand a dynamic and confident new look.”

In the coming months, Forte will be rolling out their refreshed brand identity in stages across various touchpoints and running regional marketing campaigns in Cambodia and Laos.
