Acmé, the word comes from ancient Greek "akmé" which means summit. The definition given by the Larousse dictionnary describes the highest level reached by an art, a civilisation, a doctrine, etc..., in its development. At theater, the word is used as the culminating point of a play.
But ACME is also the name of a fiction Company born in the cartoon universe, then in motion pictures. The name was borrowed from Dorothy Jones who decided it was convenient for all those start-up companies fighting to make a name for themselves in their respective areas.
The Company's activity is never clearly defined, but it appears as a conglomerate capable to make anything and provide with any kind of service, whatever its nonsense or useful purpose is. ACME, as an acronym, received several different meanings: American Company Making Everything or, for others, A Company that Makes Everything, or else Another Company Making Everything.
Airlines Crew Management was describing the basis of our activity and provided with the acronym ACM. Then adding the E for Expertise, relationship with the highest level of an art and the idea of a start-up fighting for its name, and the wink to the cartoon universe, we got our name!
