ACME in the dictionary is defined as “culminating point, moment of greatest splendor, productivity, prosperity (of a civilization, of a nation, or even of a person)”.

ACME is the imaginary factory in the Looney Tunes universe.

ACME derives from the Greek ακμή which means excellence.

ACME is an acronym used in the ’20s by American companies to appear on the first pages of the phone book and meant: A Company Making Everything.
