It was acquired in 1969 by Teledyne Technologies, then expanded into additional product lines and acquired Great Central Insurance.

1986–2000

In September 1986, Teledyne Technologies formed and then spun off Argonaut Group, with Argonaut Insurance and Great Central Insurance parts of the new company. It focused on underwriting large-account workers compensation policies.

2000–present

In January 2000, Mark E. Watson III, a board member since 1999, became President and CEO. The company moved its corporate office to San Antonio, Texas, in 2001.
