Alan Kirshner, former Chairman and CEO of Markel Group, passes away

RICHMOND, Va., March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Alan Kirshner, 88, former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Markel Group Inc. (NYSE: MKL), passed away on March 17, 2024.
Kirshner joined Markel in 1960 and played a substantial role in transforming the company from a privately held regional insurer to a family of businesses with global reach. He joined the Board of Directors in 1978 and became Chairman and CEO in 1986, the same year Markel became a public company. Kirshner served as CEO through 2015, became Executive Chairman in 2016, and then became Chairman Emeritus in 2020. Over that period, the company grew from less than 300 associates to more than 20,000 today.
“This is a sad day,” said CEO Tom Gayner. “It’s hard to put into words the legacy and impact of Alan Kirshner. He was as savvy and hard-working a leader as anyone I ever met, but it was his commitment to people that really set him apart. Alan was by nature a builder and dedicated his life to building a company that could serve others for generations to come. In doing so, he taught us that there is nothing more important in business and life than treating people with kindness and respect. It’s a lesson and legacy that we’ll never forget.”
Kirshner was the lead author of a cultural creed that the company calls the Markel Style. The statement, which stands unchanged since being written in 1986, captures the values that define Markel Group’s culture—including their zealous pursuit of excellence, sense of humor, honesty, disdain for bureaucracy, and commitment to communities. The latter of which Kirshner reinforced with his own community investments, including starting the Faison School for autistic children and the Partnership for the Future program to help students in underserved communities attend college.
“Words alone cannot express my gratitude for having been his friend and partner for the last 64 years,” said Vice Chairman Tony Markel. “He was the consummate leader…kind, caring, generous, respectful, and above all a great listener. As the author of the Markel Style, his legacy is assured endurance.”
Chairman of the Board Steve Markel added, “I worked side-by-side with Alan for nearly five decades. He was a visionary, challenging leadership and the organization to embrace change, innovate, create, and strive for a better way. Through the Markel Style, his spirit and principles will live forever within Markel Group.”

TRENDS INFLUENCING THE GROWTH OF THE MULTI USE BIOREACTOR MARKET:
Semi-automatic bioreactors play a crucial role in biopharmaceutical research and industrial fermentation processes by offering a balance between manual control and automation. These systems enable users to adjust key parameters such as temperature, pH, and oxygen levels while leveraging automated controls for consistency. The flexibility of semi-automatic bioreactors makes them ideal for academic institutions, pilot-scale production, and laboratories requiring cost-effective solutions. Their ability to accommodate a wide range of microbial and cell culture processes attracts pharmaceutical companies looking for adaptable production methods. The increasing demand for customized bioproduction, including cell therapy and regenerative medicine, further propels the adoption of semi-automatic bioreactors. These factors drive market growth and expand bioprocessing capabilities globally.
Automatic bioreactors are revolutionizing large-scale biomanufacturing by integrating advanced sensors, AI-driven monitoring, and real-time data analytics. These systems optimize fermentation and cell culture processes, reducing human intervention while ensuring precision and reproducibility. The pharmaceutical industry heavily relies on automatic bioreactors for monoclonal antibody production, vaccine development, and protein synthesis. Their ability to maintain sterile conditions and minimize contamination risks makes them indispensable for biologics manufacturing. The growing trend of continuous bioprocessing and process intensification has further increased demand for automatic bioreactors, enabling high-throughput production. Additionally, biopharma firms are investing in these systems to enhance scalability, reduce operational costs, and streamline regulatory compliance, fueling the expansion of the multi-use bioreactor market.
The pharmaceutical industry is a major driver of the multi-use bioreactor market, as bioreactors are essential for drug discovery, development, and commercial-scale manufacturing. Biopharmaceutical companies use these systems for cell culture applications, vaccine production, and biosimilar development. With the rise of personalized medicine and gene therapy, pharmaceutical firms are shifting toward modular and flexible bioreactor systems to meet evolving production demands. Regulatory agencies emphasize compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), encouraging the adoption of high-quality multi-use bioreactors. Additionally, the rapid response to emerging diseases, such as COVID-19, has accelerated investments in bioreactor technology for vaccine research and development. This increasing reliance on bioreactors for pharmaceutical applications significantly contributes to market growth.
The growing prevalence of chronic diseases and the rise of biologics have fueled demand for biopharmaceuticals, driving the need for efficient multi-use bioreactors. As monoclonal antibodies, gene therapies, and biosimilars gain prominence, manufacturers require scalable bioprocessing solutions. Multi-use bioreactors allow efficient production while ensuring consistency and regulatory compliance. Their ability to support various cell lines and microbial cultures enhances flexibility in drug development. This surge in biologics manufacturing directly contributes to market expansion.
Although single-use bioreactors are gaining traction, multi-use bioreactors remain crucial due to their cost efficiency in large-scale production. Many facilities adopt hybrid systems combining single-use and stainless-steel bioreactors to maximize flexibility. Hybrid approaches allow manufacturers to balance cost savings with operational efficiency, reducing turnaround time while maintaining sterility. This transition toward mixed-use systems supports sustainable biomanufacturing and meets evolving industry needs.
The rise of personalized therapies, including CAR-T cell therapies and regenerative medicine, has necessitated adaptable bioprocessing solutions. Multi-use bioreactors support customized production of small-batch biologics tailored to individual patient needs. Their scalability and versatility make them ideal for emerging cell-based therapies. As precision medicine gains momentum, demand for bioreactors catering to specialized manufacturing continues to grow.
While single-use systems dominate small-scale applications, multi-use bioreactors remain cost-effective for high-volume biomanufacturing. Their ability to process large batches of biologics reduces per-unit costs, making them economically viable for commercial production. Established pharmaceutical companies leverage multi-use systems for blockbuster drug manufacturing, ensuring long-term cost savings. This economic advantage reinforces their continued market demand.
