Kwik Kopy Australia, the nation’s heritage B2B Franchise group, has announced new international ties as it expands under Fortidia. Fortidia (formerly MBE Worldwide) is a global commerce enabler for MSMEs and consumers providing ecommerce, fulfillment, shipping, marketing and print solutions with multiple brands across 57 countries.
Kwik Kopy’s move to the group further strengths Fortidia’s presence in the ANZ business solutions sector, complementing its existing operations through PACK & SEND (directly operated), the Mail Boxes Etc. and World Options brands (operated via Master Licensees). Under Fortidia, Kwik Kopy Australia will retain its brand, leadership and franchise teams.
The Penfold family will retain a minority stake in Kwik Kopy Australia and remain actively involved in contributing to the brand’s next phase of growth alongside Fortidia.
“We are proud of the legacy we have built with Kwik Kopy Australia and excited about the opportunities this new partnership will bring,” said Annalise Penfold, representing the Penfold family.
Paolo Fiorelli, Chairman and CEO of Fortidia said, “We are delighted to welcome Kwik Kopy Australia to the Fortidia Group. Together, we will strengthen Kwik Kopy’s market position, accelerate growth, deliver innovative solutions and create greater customer value.
Under the new structure, Kwik Kopy Australia’s CEO will also head PACK & SEND.
Sonia Shwabsky, Managing Director of Kwik Kopy Australia and PACK & SEND ANZ said, “I am incredibly excited about the opportunities ahead. With Fortidia as the global enabler of our franchise system, entrepreneurs can tap into globally leading expertise.
This acquisition marks a significant milestone for both Fortidia and Kwik Kopy Australia, reinforcing the Group’s long-term commitment to innovation, sustainable growth, and service excellence worldwide.
