Naples, October 9, 2024 – ALA S.p.A.

While having a consolidated presence in foreign markets, with branches in France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Israel and the United States, the company has chosen to keep Naples as the hub of its activities, aware of local excellence and its commitment towards the communities in which it operates.
Roberto Tonna CEO of ALA commented: “Being recognized among the excellences of the Italian entrepreneurial scene represents a significant achievement for us, celebrating our ability to successfully operate in a competitive and complex environment. This award reflects the value of our work and strategic vision, strongly anchored in the principles of Made in Italy, a synonym for quality, innovation and tradition. These elements not only distinguish Italy in the world, but also constitute an additional competitive lever for our companies.
In an increasingly dynamic economic landscape, our roots offer us the boost to compete at an international level, demonstrating that local excellence can become a major player on a global scale.
This award is a confirmation that innovation and identity can coexist, and that the future of Made in Italy will depend on our ability to adapt and continue to represent a model of excellence recognized around the world.
ALA is committed to supporting initiatives that enhance our territory, firmly believing that strengthening local communities and innovation are key to fostering a vibrant, dynamic economy and building a prosperous future”.
“Once again, this seventh edition is evidence of excellent entrepreneurial realities in our country. Through the analysis of the parameters that distinguish the Award and that are crucial for the management of a company, we have awarded 67 companies that represent the excellence of our production network. In addition to a solid base of award-winning companies that were already part of this multi-year growth path, demonstrating how this award enhances virtuous company management over time, new realities of the highest profile have been added. More than one fifth of the awardees, indeed, are companies that joined the program this year, thanks to their solid and ambitious management skill”, comments Ernesto Lanzillo, Deloitte Partner and Leader of Deloitte Private of Central Mediterranean area (Italy, Greece and Malta).
“The evaluation parameters designed and adopted by the Deloitte experts and the jury, which led to the awarding of prizes to the 67 Italian companies for their managerial skills, are elements that we believe to be fundamental for companies operating in a complex scenario such as the one we are experiencing today. In a historic phase in which the emergence of new technologies is shaping new horizons and new business opportunities, companies must be able to have leadership that is prepared and attentive to these new trends, as well as the ability to adapt and shape their structure in accordance with the new priorities”, ends Andrea Restelli, Partner at Deloitte and Head of the Best Managed Companies program in Italy.
