News Release
Milan, Italy - April 20, 2023: MBE Italy - part of
the MBE Worldwide S.p.A. group of companies (‘MBE’) since 2009 - is celebrating
its 30-year anniversary. Since opening its first service centre in Milan in
1993, MBE Italy has grown to more than 580 business solution centres, while the
MBE group has grown into a global commerce platform combining a leading
e-commerce enabler together with a multi-brand location-based network of over
3,150 business solution centres in 52 countries.
MBE is
a leading global commerce enabler for SMEs and consumers, thanks to its
platform providing e-commerce, fulfilment, shipping, marketing and print
solutions. MBE’s innovative business model, unique selling proposition and
high-quality range of solutions has attracted many entrepreneurs over the
years, resulting in an increasing number of countries joining the MBE network.
The company attributes its success to its vast range of tailored solutions,
specifically designed to meet the needs of SMEs and consumers.
Italy
was the pioneering country of the MBE network, with its first business solution
centre opening in Milan in April 1993.
MBE Italy was established by Graziano
Fiorelli and his son Paolo, who developed the business following the
successful performance of the MBE concept in the USA.
Over
time, MBE acquired the rights to operate the MBE brand in additional countries,
including Spain and Germany, then
France, Poland, Portugal and the United Kingdom & Ireland.
An
important milestone dates back to 2009,
when the Fiorelli family acquired the Mail Boxes Etc. business and brand at
worldwide level (except USA and Canada) via MBE Worldwide.
Today
MBE Italy celebrates its 30th anniversary. Graziano Fiorelli, MBE Chairman Emeritus, says: “With my son Paolo
we have developed a company with a winning business model, aiming to build that
company to a global scale. This was only made possible through the efforts of
our many passionate and talented people.”
Paolo Fiorelli, MBE Chairman and CEO, states: “My father started this
entrepreneurial journey, and I kept building on it. We have always firmly
believed that expanding MBE globally would be of paramount significance, and
MBE’s results so far have proved us right. Today MBE continues to enable many
entrepreneurs to realise their ambitions, as part of a strong and
well-established organisation in Italy and abroad. Our mission is to support
customers in their daily challenges, with tailored solutions and professional
service, acting as their flexible engine for growth and development.”
MBE’s
vision is reflected in its #PeoplePossible
pay-off, embodying its team’s distinctive ability to respond to continuously
changing business needs with courage, tenacity, competence and a deep commitment
to its customers.
