2023
MBE Worldwide (MBE) is a leading
commerce enablement platform providing e-commerce, fulfilment, shipping,
marketing and print solutions to SMEs and consumers. MBE closed FY2022 with €1.3 bn (US$1.4 bn) of system-wide gross
revenue - generated through its location-based platform made of 3,150+ business solution centres in 52 countries, operating under different
brands: PrestaShop, Mail Boxes Etc., PostNet, PACK & SEND, AlphaGraphics,
Multicopy, GEL Proximity and World Options - and €22 bn (US$23 bn) of gross merchandise value traded through its
digital platform under the PrestaShop brand.
During 2022 MBE opened 153 new business solution centres
globally and signed three new
Master Licence (ML) Agreements - Colombia, Morocco and Ecuador - thus expanding
its global platform into new
territories.
Furthermore, in 2022 MBE
successfully concluded further strategic acquisitions such as World Options and Gel Proximity. World Options is a provider of shipping solutions
for business customers in the UK and the US, while GEL Proximity is a tech
platform entirely dedicated to last-mile logistics, allowing consumers to
choose among different proximity services.
“I can proudly say that 2022 has
been probably our best year ever, both in terms of organic and inorganic growth,”
says Paolo Fiorelli, MBE Chairman and
CEO. “Within a complex macro-economic context exacerbated by high
inflation in many countries in which we operate, uncertainty regarding energy
resources and rising supply chain costs, our results have been extremely
positive. We increased MBE Worldwide
Group system-wide gross revenue by +28.7% passing from €1.01 bn (US$1.2 bn)
in FY2021 to €1.3 bn (US$1.4 bn) in
FY2022. The ambition, discipline, commitment and passion of the team, both
at corporate and network level, have fuelled our daily activities and helped us
reach our challenging goals.”
Paolo
Fiorelli adds: “We continue
to strengthen our capacity as a global commerce enabler for SMEs and consumers,
combining the synergies of our two integrated platforms: the physical one counting
more than 3,150 business solution centres in 52 countries and the digital one
represented by our PrestaShop e-commerce suite. Through the two platforms in
2022 we fulfilled the commerce needs of over
1 million business customers worldwide.”
MBE is concentrating effort to combine its
worldwide network of business solution centres with PrestaShop, one of the most
successful e-commerce platforms in the market, positioning MBE as a unique
player in the global landscape. “Our future plans will keep leveraging the
passion, commitment and skills of our people combined with our innovative
technologies, to help all of our customers to solve their daily challenges,” concludes Paolo Fiorelli.
