CTT traces its origins to the 16th century, when a royal postal system was established to facilitate communication across the Portuguese realms. The modern corporate entity was formed in the late 20th century as part of a restructuring of state services, and it completed its initial public offering on Euronext Lisbon in 2013. Since then, CTT has pursued digital transformation initiatives, investing in automation and online platforms to improve operational efficiency and customer experience.
Headquartered in Lisbon, CTT operates a nationwide network of branches and distribution centers, supported by a network of international partners. Governed by a board of directors and overseen by Portuguese regulatory authorities, the company is led by a senior management team focused on innovation, sustainability and service quality in the evolving postal and logistics sector.
