Reinsurers are insurance companies for insurance companies, to put it simply. It allows companies to write huge blocks of insurance, by accepting some of the risk.

I did a quick Yahoo search and found lots of names of Reinsurers.

Re-insurers are insurance companies that do business with insurance companies. If a company insured an individual for say 1 Million dollars, they would not want to absorb the entire risk, so they would find an insurance company to sell part of the coverage to. The insured would not know who this is and it would only come into play if there was a claim. The original company may only keep 100,000 or so and would reinsure the rest and collect from one or maybe more companies in the event of a claim.
