Natick-based Eastern Insurance Group has acquired Lynnfield-based Westover Insurance Agency Inc.

Westover Insurance customers will now be served by Eastern Insurance’s office in Wakefield, which is located five miles from Westover’s office in Lynnfield. For Eastern Insurance, the acquisition increases its customer base north of Boston, where it already has four locations. Westover Insurance represents Eastern Insurance’s 16th acquisition since 2004. 

"We are excited to welcome Westover Insurance and its customers to the Eastern Insurance family," Hope Aldrich, president and CEO of Eastern Insurance, said in a statement. "For more than 40 years, Westover Insurance has built an excellent reputation for superior customer service and products, making it a perfect cultural fit to our organization."
