Reflecting on a Legacy of Service and Growth
What does it take to build a business that stands the test of time? For Ansay & Associates, the answer lies in a steadfast commitment to community, integrity, and client service. Founded in 1946 by Adolph Ansay, the company has grown from a small local operation to a multi-generational family enterprise serving tens of thousands of individuals and businesses across multiple states. Today, as Ansay & Associates marks its 80th anniversary, the legacy of its founder continues to guide the agency’s mission and values.
Eighty years after its founding, Ansay & Associates stands as a testament to Adolph Ansay’s enduring legacy,” said Mike Ansay, Chairman and CEO of Ansay & Associates. “As we go through the year 2026, we’re going to remind ourselves of my father, Adolph, and all the things that he stood for and all the things that he’s taught us in his legacy, and now is teaching the next generation.
The Power of a People-First Philosophy
Ansay & Associates’ success is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: “You have to give to get.” This philosophy, instilled by Adolph Ansay, has been the cornerstone of the company’s approach to business and community engagement. Over the decades, the agency has grown steadily through a combination of dedication, adaptability, and a commitment to helping clients protect what matters most.
Community Leadership and Service
Just as a lighthouse guides ships through treacherous waters, Adolph Ansay’s leadership has guided his community through challenging times. Elected county supervisor for the Village and Town of Belgium in 1948, he served Ozaukee County for nearly 50 years, playing a key role in shaping local infrastructure and public spaces. His commitment to service extended beyond his professional life, as he volunteered as a firefighter and remained deeply involved in local civic and faith organizations.
Continuing the Legacy
Ansay & Associates has grown to serve over 14,000 Wisconsin businesses and over 37,000 individual customers, while remaining proudly family-owned. Under Mike Ansay’s leadership, the agency continues to uphold the values of integrity, perseverance, and service to others. The third generation of the Ansay family now plays active leadership roles across the organization and related family enterprises, ensuring that the founder’s principles remain at the heart of everything they do.
