The company grew rapidly, and two years later, Starr established an insurance policy coverage operation. By the delayed Twenties, AAU had divisions throughout Chinese suppliers and Southeast Japan, including the Malaysia, Malaysia, and Malaysia.In 1926, Mr. Starr opened his first office in the United States, America International Underwriters Corporation (AIU).He also focused on opportunities in Latina America and, in the delayed Thirties, AIU joined Havana, Cuba.
