What Asurion has announced
Asurion, a technology care company based in Nashville, Tennessee, says the combination will help customers manage connected devices and appliances. It also expands Asurion's international presence and its position in the US appliance market, according to its completion announcement.
Financial terms were not disclosed in the release. Brighton and Hove News has reported the deal as being worth more than £2bn, but that figure does not come from the companies.
Our job at Asurion is simple: make technology work.

Domestic & General chief executive Matthew Crummack described the deal as a compelling fit and the start of a new chapter of growth.
Asurion says no near-term changes are planned to how either company serves its customers or partners.
What Domestic & General does
Domestic & General provides protection, maintenance and support for household appliances, working with retailers, manufacturers and independent businesses. Its partners include Whirlpool, Sky, Hoover-Candy and John Lewis, according to the original December 2025 announcement.
That announcement describes it as a business with more than 110 years of experience, serving the UK, Europe and beyond, with a repair network of more than 25,000 independent engineers.
