The Strathmore Group

About

A private group of operating companies.

The Strathmore Group is a privately held holding company in Chula Vista, California. It began in 1989 in employer health insurance. Today it owns and operates businesses in four fields.

The idea behind the group has stayed the same. Look for places where leverage is available, where the effect of a product or service is out of proportion to the investment behind it. Then stay.

The companies include a benefits broker, a third-party administrator, a reinsurance intermediary, a maker of research instruments, a federal supplier and an automotive dealer. Each works under its own name, and the group sits quietly behind them.

How the group works

  • Look for leverage

    The group looks for areas where the impact of a company's products and services is out of proportion to the size of the investment. Leading a market is not the goal.

  • Hold for the long term

    Time is part of the method. The group was founded in 1989, and Kinder Scientific has been part of it since 1997.

  • Let companies run under their own names

    Each company has its own name and its own team, and each selects its own candidates. The group stays in the background.

From the founder

A message from our founder

You may never have heard of The Strathmore Group ("TSG"), but regardless of who you are or where you live, you may already have experienced our expertise and felt our impact.

TSG began in 1989 as a small part of the commercial health insurance industry. While most businesses begin with the goal of eventually dominating their sector, TSG's goal was to find opportunities of leverage throughout the healthcare and health insurance industry; areas where the impact of our products and services would be disproportionate to the size of our investment.

Today, TSG owns and operates businesses throughout the healthcare, health insurance, and behavioral science spaces, serving as health insurance and health care consultants, reinsurance intermediaries, employee benefit brokers, Third Party Administrators, and scientific testing and pharmaceutical assay device manufacturers. Our companies also supply goods to federal customers and offer automotive leasing and sales.

But more importantly, we disproportionately impact the businesses that we serve as well as their employees and customers. As a result, people across the country are provided affordable, high-quality health coverage that would otherwise be beyond their ability to afford.

People around the world benefit from the medications developed using the devices that we produce. Our devices are used by academic laboratories and pharmaceutical drug-discovery groups to help assure that the medications they develop are both safe and effective.

Among our associates are brilliant, innovative, and caring people. With deep knowledge and experience, TSG employees offer our customers insights that help guide them through the challenges that they face.

True, you may not have heard of The Strathmore Group. But, along with our customers, clients, and stakeholders, we share the goal of "Creating a healthier future, together".
