ALFA INSURANCE®
Alfa’s corporate home office complex is located on 67 acres and exceeds 492,000 square feet. The facilities accommodate over 900 employees.
A Foundation Of History
By Brooke Foster
Alfa Insurance was built on a strong foundation. Its presence came about through the Alabama Farmers Federation. The Federation founded the insurance company while housed at rental offices at the Fourth National Bank Building in downtown Montgomery in 1946.
Membership growth led to the expansion of Alfa buildings over the years to better serve its member. From its humble beginning of offering fire insurance on farm buildings, Alfa has grown to provide coverage for almost 1.2 million homes, cars, farms and business, as well as more than $31 billion in life insurance.
The evolution from smaller buildings in downtown Montgomery to corporate headquarters on the city’s East South Boulevard allows Alfa’s team members to better serve its customers and employees in the 11 states where it conducts business.
1948
Federation and insurance offices expanded again, moving to a three-story building at 201 Clayton St. in the Capital City.
1947
Federation and insurance offices moved into a two-story building at 108 North McDonough St. in Montgomery.
1968, 1972, 1986
Alfa’s home office building continued to grow, expanding three times in 18 years. The building nearly doubled in size during each expansion, adding additional spaces for human resources, the cafeteria, mailroom, accounting and other administrative departments.
1958
Federation and insurance offices relocated to a new complex with approximately 40,000 square feet on the East South Boulevard in Montgomery.
1991
Alfa built a state-of-the-art daycare facility adjacent to its main office for preschool children of employees. The 10,000-square-foot facility is licensed for 125 children.
1993
Alfa remodeled the office complex, growing from 160,000 to 310,000 square feet. The expansion allowed the company to update its facilities with the latest computer technology. The project included 35,000 square feet of unfinished office space to accommodate Alfa’s future growth.
2006
Alfa opened its Business Processing Center July 24. The 134,000-square-foot building is behind the corporate headquarters. It is designed to protect the company’s key processing functions and ensure business continuity. Over 22,000 tons of concrete and 775 tons of reinforced steel were used in its construction. The building is designed to sustain winds from an F3 tornado or a Category 5 hurricane.

You can’t always lie down in bed and sleep. Heartburn, cardiac problems, hip or back aches –
and dozens of other ailments and worries. Those are the nights you’d give anything for a comfortable chair to sleep in: one that reclines to exactly the right degree, raises your feet and legs just where you want them, supports your head and shoulders properly, and operates at the touch of a button.
Our Perfect Sleep Chair® does all that and more. More than a chair or recliner, it’s designed to provide total comfort. Choose your preferred heat
and massage settings, for hours of soothing
relaxation. Reading or watching TV? Our chair’s recline technology allows you to pause the chair in an infinite number of settings. And best of all, it features a powerful lift mechanism that tilts the entire chair forward, making it easy to stand. You’ll love the other benefits, too. It helps with correct spinal alignment and promotes back pressure relief, to prevent back and muscle pain. The overstuffed, oversized biscuit style back and unique seat design will cradle you in comfort. Generously filled, wide armrests provide enhanced arm support when sitting or reclining. It even has a battery
backup in case of a power outage.
White glove delivery included in shipping charge. Professionals will deliver the chair to the exact spot in your home where you want it, unpack it, inspect it, test it, position it, and even carry the packaging away! You get your choice of Genuine Italian leather, stain and water repellent custom-manufactured DuraLux™ with the classic leather look or plush MicroLux™ microfiber in a variety of colors to fit any decor.
