Since then we have worked to build General Re and Cologne Re into one organization operating successfully across the globe. During the past two years we have made substantial progress toward this goal as evidenced by our improved underwriting results around the world," commented Joseph P. Brandon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of General Re Corporation. General Re Corporation, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., is a holding company for global reinsurance and related risk management operations. It owns General Reinsurance Corporation and a controlling interest in Cologne Re. It operates under the trade name Gen Re.
