After the end of the war in Lebanon, a large-scale reconstruction effort was put into action, aimed
at restoring and modernizing the country’s institutions. As part of this program, the need for a full-fledged postal operator was recognized. And so in October of 1998 LibanPost, a privately owned company was given the challenging task of rejuvenating and operating the postal sector in the country.
LibanPost quickly launched a massive rehabilitation program, rebuilding Lebanon's postal infrastructure from the ground up. It also focused on modernizing business methods, as well as integrating the latest in technology to ensure dependable postal and express services at all times. Significantly, it also worked to diversify its business lines with the goal of becoming a "one-stop shop" service provider, fulfilling the everyday needs of both people and businesses, and simply making daily transactions easier.
Fifteen years later, LibanPost's growth has been a resounding success in the postal industry. Despite Lebanon's small population, LibanPost processes over 2000 tons of mail per year in its round-the-clock operating sorting center. It also handles shipments delivery to nearly 2 million addresses every year with 450 postmen, covering distances exceeding 3,500,000 kilometers annually. The company serves 250,000 customers per month through its continuously growing network of 94 post offices in all parts of the country. Its distinctive brand can be found in a wide range of convenient locations that are never far from the consumer in a variety of shopping malls, universities, and large institutions.
Another landmark achievement has been LibanPost's positioning as a formal intermediary between citizens and governmental entities.
Determined in its goal to apply international standards to its operations, LibanPost has also sought and forged collaboration agreements with a number of world-class mail operators such as the French La Poste and Poste Italiane. It has also become a board member of the Postal Europe, with the aim of standardizing regional operations for further improvement of service.
