Our History
The Origins — Foundation of BLM Brokers
BLM Brokers is born, founded by Javier López-Linares on 15 April 1996.
A small brokerage with a great vision: doing things right, with excellence, teamwork and client focus.
These values — integrity, respect and professionalism — continue to guide Grupo Concentra today.
First Expansions — Business Diversification
H&H Partners is created, the origin of Global & Partners, a reinsurance brokerage that would later be integrated into Hispania.
Activity begins in the area of reinsurance and guarantees, laying the foundations for future growth.
First Acquisitions — Independencia Brokers
BLM Brokers takes its first step in expansion with the acquisition of Independencia Brokers (Zaragoza), marking the start of a strategy of sustained growth through integrations.
National Consolidation and New Horizons
The group strengthens its national presence with the acquisition of Ajo Sierra (2004) and the creation of Extendia (Concentra Garantías), specialised in warranty extensions.
In 2005, it participates in the foundation of Óptima Mayores, Spain's first company specialised in reverse mortgages.
A Step Change — UBL Brokers is Born
A turning point occurs with the acquisition of Banco Urquijo's brokerage, transforming BLM Brokers into UBL Brokers.
The group establishes itself as a benchmark in professional mediation and begins a new phase of expansion.
Digital Innovation — Cibermultipoliza
Grupo Concentra acquires Cibermultipoliza (lapoliza.com), the group's first digital brokerage.
That same year it incorporates Omnibus (Barcelona), expanding its territorial network.
Innovative products are born such as Head Hunter and the pioneering Travel Leisure and Travel Business policies in their segment.
International Expansion and Leadership
Gescobert (2010) is incorporated and Concentra México is created, the group's first international experience. In 2013, Pentalia is integrated, strengthening its position in the Spanish market. The Concentra brand consolidates as a synonym for growth and solvency.
CMS Integration
The integration of CMS strengthens the group's structure and expands its technical capacity, with an increasingly cohesive and client-oriented network.
Iberian Expansion — Entry into Portugal
The summer of 2021 marks entry into the Portuguese market with the acquisition of Melior, the country's eighth largest brokerage. Grupo Concentra becomes an Iberian player, with presence on both sides of the peninsula.
New Phase — Blackfin Capital Partners
In August 2022, the fund Blackfin Capital Partners acquires 70% of Grupo Concentra, boosting its growth in the Iberian Peninsula. Segurfer and Hispania are incorporated, expanding the range of services and capabilities.
Continuous Growth and Specialisation
Early in the year, Winsartorio is integrated, a brokerage specialised in travel agency insurance.
In summer, Median (Portugal) arrives, reinforcing international presence and cross-border business.
Portinsurance (Portugal) becomes part of the Grupo Concentra, contributing the retail business and a wide network of exclusive agents.
A Solid Group Continuing to Grow with a Forward-Looking Vision
In 2025, Lopez Torrijos is integrated, a brokerage recognised for its leadership position and strong presence in Castilla-La Mancha, Murcia and Levante.
To confirm the Group's commitment to the travel insurance market, New Risk also joins, consolidating in this way a key area within the organisation.
With more than 335 professionals, 150,000 clients and €240M in intermediated premiums, Grupo Concentra establishes itself among the three largest independent brokers in the Iberian market.
A history of growth, innovation and commitment looking to the future with determination.
