For the Love of Art
Drive
Two characteristics define our brand essence. One is
our love of art and the other is our customers’ absolute satisfaction. Only the consonance of these
two factors makes us successful.
We endeavour to advise our customers neutrally and in
the optimum manner with a high level of expertise. Reliability is seen as something special these
days, but we live and breathe it on a daily basis. We always search for the the best and safest
solution because we have geared our customer relationships to the long-term.

Reliability as a Principle
Values
Zilkens Fine Art Insurance Broker GmbH is an owner-run
company. This lends a special significance to our corporate philosophy, as the owner vouches with
his name for the company’s services and performance.
To fulfil our aspiration of providing reliable
orientation in an increasingly complex world, we adhere to a set of ethical and moral principles.
The quality of our work plays a special part in this process. We want to and can distinguish
ourselves only with excellent performance and customer satisfaction.

Expertise that truly makes a difference
Experience
As an owner-managed house, we understand the
requirements from entrepreneur to entrepreneur. The high innovative strength of our employees
benefits our customers at all times.
Few insurance brokers have such a broad range of
experience in all areas of insurance. Through many years of experience, both with insurance
companies and insurance brokers, and always in close contact with our clients, we have learned to
speak all the necessary languages.
