Our history

Driven by curiosity and openness to new horizons we have grown thanks to the push of new acquisitions.

2023

Mundys is born on March 14th, 2023.
Mundys represents a new reality, which aims to improve life on the move for all its passengers, promoting a mobility under the banner of sustainability and innovation, which is increasingly efficient and integrated. Mundys is a global leader that, with its Italian roots, looks to the world to promote and enable the mobility of the future.
Mundys was born from a radical process of discontinuity and transformation. The delisting from Euronext Milan in December 2022, following the successful outcome of the Voluntary Tender Offer promoted by Edizione S.p.A., Blackstone and Fondazione CRT, was a milestone for the birth of Mundys and for a start of a story that is to be written, keeping travel and the traveler at the center.
