Our company history

Back in 1935, Merle “M.O.” Penfound opened his insurance office in the family farmhouse, nestled near a huge oak tree along Parsons Road in Lorain County, Ohio.

That oak, still standing, is our symbol for three generations of protection, service and value.  At our Elyria office or at our Avon branch, 36765 Detroit Road in Avon, Ohio, we continue the traditions that reach back over 50 years.

The agents at Penfound Insurance are independent insurance agents. As independent agents, we don’t work for any one insurance company; we sell coverage from several different companies.  This allows us to focus on providing you with the best combination of service and price.
