Empresa Brasileira de Correios e Telégrafos ((英語:Brazilian Post and Telegraph Corporation)), abbreviated as ECT, also known as Correios, is a state-owned company that operates the national postal service of Brazil.〔http://www.correios.com.br/eng/aboutus/brazilpost/whoWeAre/default.cfm〕 The company created and manages the Brazilian postal code system known as Código de Endereçamento Postal. It also provides e-commerce platform (''CorreiosNet Shopping''), banking (''Banco Postal'') acting as proxy of Banco do Brasil,〔http://www.correios.com.br/eng/services/financialServices/postalBank/default.cfm〕 Boleto bill payment collection and express mail service ''Sedex'', with its international service network reaching more than 220 countries worldwide. It is the largest employer in Brazil with more than 109,000 own employees and outsourced, being the only company to be present in all municipalities in the country, with a wide network of owned and franchised units. The company is fully owned by the Federal Government of Brazil and subordinated to the Ministry of Communications. ==History== The Post Office had its origin in Brazil on January 25, 1663. In 1931 the Decree №20.859 of 26 December merged the Directorate General of Posts to the General Bureau of Telegraphs and creates the Department of Posts and Telegraph.〔BARROS NETO, João Pinheiro de.Administração Pública no Brasil: uma breve história dos correios. São Paulo; annablume, 2004. ISBN 8574194476〕 The ECT was created March 20, 1969 as a public company under the Ministry of Communications through the transformation of the Federal Authority which was then the Department of Posts and Telegraphs. In the years that followed, several services were being incorporated into the portfolio. Besides the traditional services of letters, courier, postage and telegrams among the new services can be highlighted those belonging to the SEDEX family, express delivery service. On August 2013 the company has provided 2,000 of its mail delivery staff with smartphones to provide real-time information on their deliveries. The move is the first phase of a new Mobility in the Postal Service project in which the company is looking to allow customers to track their deliveries in real time on the Internet. The first phase covered the SEDEX 10 express service in various states (a service that deliver documents and goods with a guaranteed delivery time before 10am the next day after posting).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =Postal Digest – Postal news from Canada, Israel, Russia, Brazil and Portugal )〕 In December 2013 the company inaugurated its second hybrid mail production center in Santa Catarina. The new facility near Florianopolis will serve the south and the states of Ceará and Bahia. It has the ability to scan and produce 2.7m items each month, a little smaller than the Brasilia plant’s 4.5m capacity, which was opened in August of that year. At the moment, the two plants together are producing about 2.5m mailpieces a month, including communications for the Ministry of Health and notifications for the Federal Highway Police and the Judiciary. The company is also planning to open a facility in São Paulo later this year, while next year facilities will be opened in Belém, Salvador and Belo Horizonte as the company’s hybrid mail capabilities expand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =Brazil Post in talks over potential digital services partnership )〕 On February 2014 it was reported that Correios has inked an agreement with its Italian counterpart Poste Italiane to launch a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in Brazil. Until then Brazil had two MVNOs, Portoseguro and Datora. On October that year National Presort Inc. has won a $11m contract to upgrade sorting technology, which will see the replacement of controlled electronics, Barcode readerS and software within existing sorting machinery of Correios. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Correios」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
