POST Luxembourg, formerly known as Entreprise des Postes et Télécommunications (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃tʁəpʁiz de pɔst e telekɔmynikasjɔ̃], "Postal and Telecommunications Company"), is a mail and telecommunications company based in Luxembourg.[2]

## History

[edit]

The company is a government-owned corporation, which originated from Luxembourg's state-owned PTT agency founded in 1842 as "Administration des Postes".[2] They issued their first postage stamp in 1852, and became founding members of the Universal Postal Union in 1874.[2]

The first vehicle used for postal delivery went into operation in 1910. An airmail service was introduced in 1928.[3] During the German occupation of Luxembourg during World War II, Luxembourg's postal service was abolished and integrated into Germany's Reichspost.[2]

The service was subsequently corporatised with the founding of P&T Luxembourg in 1992. It also sells financial services and holds a monopoly on issuing postage stamps in the Grand Duchy.[1]

It comes under the remit of the Minister for Communications, who reports to the Prime Minister in the latter's capacity as Minister of State.[4]

P&T owns shares in sixteen other companies, including controlling stakes in eBRC data centres (100%), Editus.lu (100%), Eltrona, HotCity, Infomail (45%), Intech, Michel Greco (60%), Netcore (100%), POST Telecom (100%), POST PSF Consulting (100%), Victor Buck Services (Majority), Visual Online (51%).[5]

On September 30, 2013, P&TLuxembourg and LuxGSM merged into a single brand, POST Luxembourg. The LUXGSM network was therefore renamed POST.[6]
