trategic growth — planned, calculated, tactical — has been the foundation of MBT Worldwide throughout its history. The sedan, SUV, bus and motorcoach transportation provider has been a proud family-owned and -operated company since its beginning. Today, second and third generation family members are busy leading the business — based in Tewksbury, MA, approximately 20 miles north of downtown Boston — in new directions. It’s a full-service transportation provider in New England, Canada, the Eastern Seaboard and beyond. Formerly known as MBT Transportation, the company was started by the late Nick Martinho as an airport shuttle service, transporting flight crews between Logan International Airport and Boston’s area hotels. Since then, its fleet has grown to over 30 vehicles and includes motorcoaches, mini-buses, SUVs and luxury sedans. Along with its traditional airport transfer work, today’s MBT Worldwide provides charters, corporate shuttles, casino runs as well as school/college athletic team and field trip transportation. MBT Worldwide representatives standing, from left to right, are Nick Martinho, parts and service manager; and Russell Libby, Owner/CEO. Shown inside the motorcoach, from top to bottom, are Terri DiMella, president; Lisa Martinho, human resources; Sophia Libby; and Patrick Kelly, client services manager.
