Our Story and Timeline

Centrix Benefits Administrators was founded in 2016 under The Strathmore Group with a bold mission — to bring innovation, integrity, and personal service to employee benefits administration.

What began with just a few hundred members has grown into a trusted network serving over 10,000 across the West Coast. Built on relationships, trust, and results, our journey reflects a steadfast commitment to people and partnership.

With more than four decades of industry experience guiding our leadership, Centrix brings a 360° view of the benefits landscape — from strategic plan design to hands-on administration. Every organization we serve has its own heartbeat, and we take pride in tailoring our approach to fit each one.

At Centrix, we don’t just manage benefits — we build confidence, clarity, and care into every client relationship. Explore our timeline below to see how a passion for service and innovation has shaped our growth — and continues to power our promise for the future.
