CTT - Correios de Portugal, S.A., usually known simply as CTT or CTT Correios, is the national postal service of Portugal. The acronym CTT comes from Correios, Telégrafos e Telefones (Post, Telegraph and Telephone) the former name of the postal administration.
CTT is a modern Postal Operator that aims to render complete and integrated communication solutions and to deliver messages, items and services with quality, efficiency, competitiveness and profitability, according to the needs of the corporate world and customers in general.
HISTORY
The origins of CTT date back to 1520 when King Manuel I created the first public mail service.
The modern CTT started to take form in 1880 from the fusion of the Post Office and the Telegraphs Department in one single service: Direcção-Geral dos Correios, Telégrafos e Faróis (Department of Posts, Telegraphs and Lighthouses).
In 1911, the department received administrative and financial autonomy from the Portuguese State and became Administração-Geral dos Correios, Telégrafos e Telefones (General Administration of Posts, Telegraphs and Telephones), adopting the CTT acronym which was kept until today, even after the several changes of official name.
In 1953, CTT adopted the horse rider logo. The logo represents an ancient postman rider of the CTT, announcing his arrival with a bugle. The logo was reformed three times, the last one in 2004.
In 1969, CTT became a State Company, adopting the name CTT - Correios e Telecomunicações de Portugal, E.P. (CTT - Posts and Telecommunications of Portugal).
In 1992, the telecommunications service was separated from the CTT, becoming an autonomous company. At the same time, CTT became a public limited company (with all shares owned by the Portuguese government), adopting the name CTT - Correios de Portugal, S.A. (CTT - Posts of Portugal).
In 2007, CTT started to offer a mobile phone service in Portugal, under the brand name Phone-ix.
