Orange S.A. (French pronunciation: [ɔʁɑ̃ʒ]) (formerly France Télécom S.A., stylised as france telecom) is a French multinational telecommunications company. It has 266 million customers worldwide and employs about 89,000 people or more in France and 59,000 people worldwide.[4] In 2023, the group had a revenue of approximately €43 billion.[5] The company's head office is located in Issy-les-Moulineaux, in the southwestern suburban area of Paris City.
Orange has been the company's main brand for mobile, landline, internet and Internet Protocol television (IPTV) services since 2006. The Orange brand originated in the United Kingdom in 1994 after Hutchison Whampoa acquired a controlling stake in Microtel Communications: that company became a subsidiary of Mannesmann in 1999 and then was acquired by France Télécom in 2000. On 1 July 2013 France Télécom was rebranded to Orange.[6]
