The acquisition aims to enhance Allstate Protection Plans’ offerings for the mobile industry by providing more comprehensive solutions for consumers to repair, replace, trade-in, and upgrade their devices.

Kingfisher, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Singapore, operates across Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific. The company offers a range of products that help mobile carriers, manufacturers, and retailers address the growing consumer demand for flexible device ownership and protection solutions, with a particular emphasis on reducing environmental impact. The acquisition brings Kingfisher’s team of mobile industry experts into Allstate’s fold.

Karl Wiley, Global President and CEO of Allstate Protection Plans, highlighted the importance of this acquisition: “Allstate Protection Plans partners with some of the world’s leading mobile carriers, including Telenor Group, SoftBank, Three, and T-Mobile. The mobile industry continues to be a key area of growth for us globally, and we are thrilled to welcome the Kingfisher team. By bringing this world-class team onboard, we gain a significant competitive advantage, further enhancing our ability to meet the evolving needs of carriers and consumers alike.”

This acquisition strengthens Allstate Protection Plans’ ability to provide sustainable and flexible mobile device solutions, positioning the company as a leader in the evolving mobile technology landscape.

Kingfisher’s Co-Founder and CEO, Georgiann Reigle, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership: “We entered the market with the belief that carriers and consumers deserve a better, more flexible mobile experience.”

She added “With the global reach, resources, and financial strength of Allstate, we are now positioned to drive the efficient circulation of both new and second-life devices to potentially billions of users, significantly reducing the environmental impact of mobile device usage worldwide.”
