Covington, LA, April 2019 –
Gilsbar
is proud and excited to be celebrating our 60th anniversary this
month. Gilsbar was founded in 1959 by Henry J. Miltenberger with one client and
one goal, to provide unsurpassed customer service and create and administer
health and life insurance related solutions that help our clients manage their
risks. Today, following that same goal, we are one of the largest privately
held Health & Benefit Managers in the country.
We
provide our core services under three very important tenants: Lower costs,
improve health and simplify the experience. We are recognized nationally for
our culture and service and have been awarded several Best Places to Work
honors. In the consistently changing environment of the employee benefits
industry, it is rare to find a third-party administrator for fully-insured and
self-funded health plans not owned by a carrier or connected to another large
entity, yet Gilsbar remains a financially stable, independent company with zero
debt.
When
asked about Gilsbar’s legacy, our CEO, Hank Miltenberger, stated, “We focus on
our client’s interests, always work with integrity, with courage, with a
long-term view, with all our might and creativity, constantly striving for
excellence, and to develop our people, processes, products, and markets while
earning a reasonable profit… High aspirations and lofty purposes are one thing;
actions, performance and reputation are another. The proof is in the pudding.
We are still in business, still growing, still learning, and we still have our
first customer.”
