Originally, postal service in Curaçao was a government entity. However, by the end of 1997, the sitting government converted the national postal service into the limited liability company Post Nederlandse Antillen N.V. (PNA) as part of its new policies. The objective was to transform all commercially feasible government services into private business entities to help alleviate the Island’s financial situation at the time. As a limited liability company, the government still got to be the owner of the new PNA N.V. with 100% of the shares. PNA started off with an inheritance of the previous government postal service as it was able to operate under a granted concession. This concession offered PNA an exclusive position for postal operations within the Netherlands Antilles.

Up until 2010, NPNA had been concentrating its efforts mainly on delivering letter mail. Because of the steep drop in the volume of letter mail and the NPNA’s efforts to survive in the declining postal market, NPNA finally changed its business strategy in 2011. This business strategy takes the unsustainability of the conventional postal market into account. The new strategy has been adjusted to one that suits the international demand.

Since 2012, NPNA has continued to focus on promoting its non-postal products and acquiring potential new emerging markets. In order to do business internationally, it is important to increase the company’s volume and revenue. The dismantling of the former Netherlands Antilles made a name change inevitable. The NPNA’s new name had suitable both nationally and abroad. By 2014, “the managing team had carefully selected the new name: Cpost International N.V. The “C” in Cpost International is a reference to Curaçao, while “International” refers to the worldwide approach of the company.
