bpost SA/NV (OTCMKTS:BPOSY) is the national postal operator of Belgium, providing a comprehensive range of mail and parcel delivery services. Established in the early 19th century, bpost has evolved from a traditional postal service into a multifaceted logistics and e-commerce solutions provider. The company’s core activities include universal postal service obligations, domestic and international parcel delivery, express mail, direct marketing, and retail network operations through its network of post offices, automated kiosks and partner locations.
In addition to its postal and parcel business, bpost has developed a suite of value-added services aimed at the rapidly growing e-commerce market. These services encompass warehousing and fulfillment, last-mile delivery, returns management and cross-border shipping solutions. Through its subsidiary bpost international, the company partners with global logistics networks to offer door-to-door delivery in Europe, North America and Asia, leveraging both its own infrastructure and alliances with established carriers.
The company was corporatized in 2000 under the name bpost and underwent a partial privatization in 2013, listing a portion of its shares on the Brussels Stock Exchange. While the Belgian State remains the majority shareholder, bpost operates under a governance framework overseen by a supervisory board and a professional management board. Over the years, bpost has invested in digitalization of its sorting centers, expansion of automated parcel lockers and integration of data-driven tracking systems to improve operational efficiency and customer experience.
Serving both individual consumers and business clients, bpost maintains one of Europe’s most extensive postal and parcel networks. Its service footprint covers more than 1,700 retail points in Belgium and access to over 200 countries through its international partnerships. As the company continues to adapt to shifting market demands, it remains focused on enhancing its logistics capabilities, expanding its e-commerce offerings and supporting the digital transformation of its core postal operations.
