OLD BRIDGE, N.J., March 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- FTP, INC. announced today its acquisition of Coastal Flood Underwriters, LLC, a premier provider of flood insurance solutions. This strategic move strengthens FTP's commitment to delivering comprehensive and tailored flood insurance solutions throughout the country.

Founded in 2017 by Paul E. Papangelou, ANFI, Coastal Flood Underwriters has earned a reputation as a trusted leader in the flood insurance market. Under Papangelou's leadership, the company represents over 19 private flood insurance providers, along with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). His expertise in underwriting, risk management, and nationwide agency training has positioned Coastal Flood Underwriters as a key player in the industry, serving clients across 28 states.

Paul Papangelou, President & CEO of Coastal Flood Underwriters, shared his enthusiasm for the acquisition:

"Joining forces with FTP, INC. marks an exciting new chapter. Our shared commitment to innovation and customer-focused flood insurance solutions makes this partnership a natural fit. With FTP's resources and expertise, we will continue providing agents and clients with the best possible flood coverage options, ensuring that communities and businesses remain protected against increasing flood risks."

The acquisition aligns with FTP's long-term strategy of expanding its specialty insurance offerings through strategic partnerships and underwriting expertise. In addition to strengthening its position in the flood insurance market, FTP is launching its Flood Platform later this month—an innovative comparative platform that integrates FTP's own managed flood program alongside other industry-renowned flood products.

"At FTP, we are always looking for opportunities to invest in organizations that bring exceptional knowledge and service to the insurance marketplace," said Frank Powell, President of FTP, INC. "Coastal Flood Underwriters has demonstrated a remarkable ability to deliver flood insurance solutions nationwide.
