Our history

As a former national postal operator, our company's history is closely intertwined with the history of Belgium. keyboard_arrow_down

The group has evolved over the years and has grown internationally in order to respond to the changing market and postal climate.

Rethink the Possible

The “Rethink the Possible” strategy was launched in 2024 and the long-term ambitions were defined in order to create a sustainable future for the group.

This strategy is supported by a comprehensive transformation program, repositioning the company from a postal operator with logistics capabilities to a logistics leader that also provides postal services. Changing names from bpostgroup to bnode was a logical next step.

bpostgroup becomes bnode

Rebranding to bring more clarity to our stakeholders. bnode comprises 3 distinctive business units: bpost, Landmark Global and Paxon. In 2026 the next phase of the rebranding will follow, so that only these brands remain.

Staci Acquisition

Bpostgroup acquires Staci to reinforce its position as a regional leader in parcelized logistics in Europe and cross-border services on an international level.

Active Ants Acquisition

Bpostgroup acquires a majority stake in Active Ants, a Dutch e-fulfillment company. This acquisition was a strategic move for Bpost to expand its e-commerce and logistics services in Europe. Today Bnode is 100% shareholder.

Radial acquisition

With the acquisition of US company Radial, bpostgroup takes a big step in its transformation into a global e-commerce logistics provider.

New parcel sorting center

One of the biggest of its kind in Europe, a new-build sorting center opens close to Brussels, enabling bpost to ramp up its parcel sorting capacity.

IPO

bpost SA offers its stock on the Brussels exchange for the first time.

Mail market liberalization

Following the gradual ending of the mail monopoly, the Belgian mail market is fully liberalized in 2011. As a result, subject to some conditions, anyone is now able to offer mail services in Belgium.

De Post-La Poste becomes bpost

Since our formation our name has changed several times. Now we present ourselves to the world as bpost.

New sorting centers

The opening of four new-build sorting centers in Antwerp, Charleroi, Ghent and Liege enable us to continue the automation and transformation of our operational network in Belgium.

Privatisation

The autonomous public company La Poste becomes a public limited company under public law. A necessary step towards privatisation and a more market-driven way of operating.
