Orange Liberia is the second largest mobile network operator in Liberia. The company was founded in 2003 as Cellcom Telecommunications Ltd, backed by US-based private international investment firm YCF Group. Cellcom was wholly acquired by French-multinational Orange Group (via its Orange Cote d’Ivoire business unit) in early 2016. Rebranding to Orange Liberia was completed by May 2017.
