Fresno’s DiBuduo & DeFendis Insurance Brokers, LLC and Maulhardt Insurance Agency have teamed together to open a new division in Oxnard that will combine local experience with global resources to service more California clients and businesses.

Founded in 1960, D&D Insurance sees this new partnership as an opportunity to work alongside industry veteran Jeff Maulhardt, who began his insurance agency in 2005 and has grown his business steadily since.

In this new  joint venture, Maulhardt Insurance  will be working with D&D producer Steve Devericks to handle the company’s commercial clients.

With offices in Bakersfield, Dinuba, Fresno, Hollister, Lodi, Modesto, Oxnard, San Luis Obispo, Santa Monica and Taft, D&D Insurance is one of the largest independent insurance agencies in California.

“We’re excited about this venture for D&D and for our new clients through Maulhardt Insurance,” said Matt DeFendis, principal of DiBuduo & DeFendis Insurance Brokers, LLC. “We are extremely pleased to bring our resources to the Oxnard area, and this division will only help us better serve the people and businesses of the community.”
