Mail Boxes Etc. (MBE) is a network of retail centers offering pack and ship, logistics, communications and marketing services to business and private customers.[1] MBE Worldwide—a family-owned Italian holding company based in Milan—originally started as a master franchisee of MBE Inc. in 1993 and subsequently acquired the worldwide Mail Boxes Etc. business (except for the United States of America and Canada, which remain under MBE Inc.) in May 2009 from MBE Inc.[2] MBE's service centers are owned and managed by franchise operators.
On December 31, 2016, MBE Worldwide had almost 1,600 locations in 30 countries, with aggregated sales of 427 million euros in 2016.[citation needed] In 2017, MBE Worldwide acquired two US companies, PostNet International Franchise and AlphaGraphics Inc.[3][4] With these acquisitions, the MBE network now reaches around 2,500 service centers, including 500 in the US and 2,000 in 43 countries around the world.
