Acea is Historic Brand of National Interest

On the strength of 117 years of history at the service of the community and the entrepreneurial fabric, Acea has entered the list of companies with a historical trademark of national interest. The multi-utility led by Fabrizio Palermo has in fact been entered in the special register of historic trademarks of national interest managed by the Italian Patent and Trademark Office, an acknowledgement that enhances the company's continuity, solidity and contribution to Italy's industrial history. Founded in September 1909 as AEM (Azienda Elettrica Municipale) to manage Rome's lighting, it is now one of the largest infrastructure operators in Italia and is expanding rapidly abroad. The 2025 results show a growing company, capable of creating value for shareholders and fully integrating ESG objectives and people empowerment into its strategy. These elements, combined with financial discipline, allow Acea to face the challenges of the coming years with stability, vision and ability to generate value in the long term.

Inclusion in the special register is reserved for trademarks that have been used continuously for at least 50 years and can be traced back to Italian companies with a consolidated tradition of excellence. Thus Acea further strengthens its position in the Made in Italy panorama, also at international level, thanks to the use of the "Italian historical trademark" logo, enhancing its identity heritage. In particular, the registration makes it possible to: preserve and formally recognise an industrial tradition of more than fifty years; consolidate its reputation and authority with stakeholders, partners and institutions; strengthen the protection of the brand against improper use or counterfeiting; support initiatives to enhance the company's history, also in synergy with cultural and museum projects; confirm Acea's image as a rooted, reliable and capable of innovation over time. The recognition represents a further step in the process of enhancing the company's history and identity, key elements to face future challenges while maintaining solid roots in the past.
