ST. LOUIS, March 28, 2008 – Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE: RGA) recently opened an office in Cologne, Germany to serve the German, Austrian and Swiss life insurance markets.
The RGA International Reinsurance Company Limited German Representative Office will promote RGA’s global reinsurance expertise and solutions to local life insurance companies. The office will focus its marketing attention on traditional automatic and facultative life reinsurance services as well as product development support, and providing customized reinsurance solutions to clients in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

"Setting up a local operation in Germany is a key step to our continued efforts in improving the service we provide to our clients located in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
