Japan Postal Service
 PROFILE
Neither sleet nor snow nor earthquakes keep the Japan Postal Service from delivering about 26 billion pieces of mail each year. The not-for-profit, state-run enterprise is supported solely by postal fees. The postal service sells stamps and covers more than 165,000 miles delivering letters and packages through more than 24,000 offices. Although the company has also been named one of "FORTUNE"'s Most Admired Companies, the Japan Postal Service has suffered major financial losses. In an effort to increase international postal revenues, the postal service has entered into a joint marketing agreement with the United States Postal Service.
