Fortidia acquires Mail Boxes Etc. brand in Mexico

Fortidia is pleased to announce the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of the Mail Boxes Etc. brand and assets in Mexico from its former Master Licensee.

This strategic acquisition marks a significant step in Fortidia’s global expansion, adding Mexico to the Group’s network of Directly Operated Countries.

Fortidia is a global commerce enabler for MSMEs and consumers thanks to its platform including brands providing ecommerce, fulfillment, shipping, marketing and print solutions. The Fortidia Group closed FY2024 with €1.4 bln (US$1.5 bln) of System-wide Gross Revenue – generated through its location-based platform made of 3,130+ Business Solutions Centers in 57 Countries – and €22 bln (US $23 bln) of Gross Merchandise Value traded through its digital ecommerce platform. 

Red Postal Mexicana, the franchisor of the Mail Boxes Etc. brand in Mexico, was founded in Mexico City in 2003. Since then, it has built a strong presence in the shipping, logistics, marketing, and printing sectors through a network of more than 60 Business Solutions Centers.

“We are excited to now be part of the Fortidia Group,” said Ilan Epelbaum, currently General Manager at MBE Mexico. “The future developments and synergies we can unlock together are a fantastic catalyst for further growth of the Mail Boxes Etc. brand in Mexico. We share with Fortidia a strong alignment in values, culture, and, above all, a focus on delivering customer satisfaction”.
