Over the past years, MBE has successfully navigated a complex socio-economic environment by fostering a strong sense of community and unity. This approach has strengthened the company’s ability to innovate, plan for the future, and build resilience across all markets where it operates. Today, MBE’s foundation is as robust as its vision, both deeply rooted in the core principle of prioritizing its customers, primarily SMEs and individuals.
In 2024, MBE increased its investments in technology to continue advancing digitalization processes, accelerating time-to-market, and further enhancing its exceptional customer service quality. Looking ahead to 2025, MBE remains steadfast in this direction, aiming to support its customers in overcoming business challenges by offering professional solutions tailored to their needs while staying ahead of market trends.
In a global context characterized by rising production costs for its partners, MBE announces that, effective January 1, 2025, a revision to published shipping rate lists will be implemented. This adjustment is essential to maintaining the high-quality services that distinguish MBE in the market and remain the primary reason customers trust MBE experts as partners for their activities.
Domestic and international shipping rates will increase by an average of 6.9% across all European countries where MBE operates directly. Meanwhile, rates in Poland and the United Kingdom will see an average increase of 7.9%. Additional fee and surcharge adjustments will be applied on a case-by-case basis.
“Our focus remains on delivering exceptional services and a comprehensive range of business solutions that drive our customers’ success,” said Valeria Mennella, Chief Marketing Officer at Fortidia. “We are deeply grateful to our customers for continuously choosing MBE as their trusted global partner.”
