July 08, 2013 -- Europa Technologies has today announced a stronger partnership with MB-International, a well-known and respected supplier of international data products for business-critical geospatial analysis.

The two companies have worked together for a number of years by reselling each other's products. Additionally, MB-International data has been integrated into Global CRESTA Plus. This highly successful data product is a digital implementation of the CRESTA (Catastrophe Risk Evaluating and Standardising Target Accumulations) zoning standard used by insurers and
reinsurers world-wide.

Europa Technologies will now add NAVSTREETS street-level mapping from Nokia (Navteq) to its data portfolio, for which MB-International is an official distributor. Uniquely, its clients will have the opportunity to consume this high quality mapping as a service directly into their web, desktop and mobile applications, using the award-winning viaEuropa hosted map platform.

Additionally, Europa Technologies will offer global postal and demographic data from MB-International, working in harmony with its own global base maps and administrative data.

Europa Technologies’ founder and director Warren Vick said: “We have enjoyed working with MB-International in recent years and are delighted to extend our collaboration with this new partnership. Our mutual business to date demonstrates the complementary nature of our respective product portfolios. We look forward to the new opportunities provided by this highly valued partnership.”

Ray Roberts-York, MB-International’s managing director, added: “I am very happy that our collaboration which has been successful for so long is now being strengthened even further. I am very pleased that we can react with a more effective and targeted response to the individual needs of our customers.”
