The Como-based company among the 160 top enterprises

We tell the story of an Italy that is starting up again and competing, and that can boast businesses that perform well in terms of management and are financially reliable, as certified by Cerved.

A selection of as many as 160 capital companies with registered offices in Italy, chosen from strategic sectors, recognized and distinguished for their management performance and financial statement results. Among these top players, Como Acqua, the sole operator of the Integrated Water Service of the Province of Como, stands out.

It was precisely on Thursday, November 25, in Rome, at the Luiss Guido Carli University in the Mario Arcelli Great Hall, that the award ceremony for the Industria Felix – L'Italia che compete award took place. This recognition is assigned based on objective criteria and takes into account an incontrovertible competitiveness algorithm, as well as the Cerved Group Score Impact (the financial reliability indicator of one of the most important rating agencies in Europe).
Taking to the stage as one of Italy's top managers, Engineer Enrico Pezzoli, President and CEO of Como Acqua, commented as follows: “For a young yet ambitious company like Como Acqua, the Industria Felix Award – Italy That Competes is recognition of the efforts, commitment, and dedication we have shown in these few years since our inception. It is important that, in light of incontrovertible data such as management performance and financial reliability, we have been named among the 160 best Italian companies. An important detail worth emphasizing is the presence of Como Acqua in the category of the 19 awarded public utilities. Como Acqua is awarded the Industria Felix Blue Seal of Quality for Competitiveness and Financial Reliability, a recognition that I have no doubt will give even greater momentum to our company in continually pursuing new objectives and goals, officially placing us among the top companies headquartered in Italy.


This was the second national edition of Industria Felix, the first held in person, but the thirty-seventh overall. The event was opened by the Undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Assuntela Messina, and featured the participation, among others, of the national vice president of Confindustria Vito Grassi, the president of Copasir Adolfo Urso, and other high-profile guests.


The event was organized by the economics quarterly Industria Felix Magazine in collaboration with Cerved, Luiss Guido Carli University, the Industria Felix Cultural Association, with important sponsorships such as Confindustria and Simest, with the
media partnership of Il Sole 24 Ore and Askanews, 

“I intend to share this award received with those who have contributed, to date, to the growth of our company: the Administrative Bodies, the Control Bodies, the Shareholders of Como Acqua, and, last but not least, all the employees. Today we reach an important milestone, but there are still many challenges ahead of us that must see us increasingly cohesive, high-performing, and goal-oriented,” concludes Pezzoli
