Buffett Joined Ceremony for New Indiana Geico Center

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett joined in a ceremony opening a new customer service center for the Geico insurance company in suburban Indianapolis.

The ceremony on Monday took place at the center in Carmel which Geico expects to expand to perhaps 1,200 workers in the next few years.

Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway holding company owns Geico. Buffett says several of Berkshire Hathaway’s businesses have had good experiences with operations in Indiana.

State officials say the Carmel center opened in April and has about 250 workers, including insurance agents, trainers, supervisors and support staff.
