Amaga

What Amaga does

AMAGA S.p.A. (Azienda Multiservizi Abbiatense Gestioni Ambientali) is a privately-held municipal multi-service utility company founded in 1977, headquartered in Abbiategrasso, Lombardy, Italy. The company operates under exclusive municipal concessions to deliver environmental hygiene services (differentiated and undifferentiated waste collection, ecocenter operations, street cleaning, snow removal), energy management (district heating micro-networks, thermal plant operation and maintenance, energy efficiency services), public green and cemetery services, communal pharmacy operations, and gas distribution (via its stake in Aemme Linea Distribuzione for ATEM Milano 2 and Milano 3). It serves 6 active municipalities (Abbiategrasso, Albairate, Bareggio, Castano Primo, Motta Visconti, Vermezzo con Zelo) with two more (Morimondo, Cassinetta di Lugagnano) in expansion, reaching a residential and commercial customer base of citizens and businesses under regulated municipal contracts.

The company's core technology platform includes the proprietary Riciclario mobile application (iOS and Android) for citizen engagement, the online Sportello Utenti portal for booking bulky waste and RAEE pickups, an internal TARI/TARIP (point-based waste tariff) billing system operational since 2014, and GIS-based routing for waste collection logistics. AMAGA has co-developed an innovative neighborhood-level district heating micro-network with Politecnico di Milano that won the national FIRE Energy Management 2025 award. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 quality certification and UNI CEI 11352:2014 energy services certification, both audited by Bureau Veritas.

AMAGA's revenue model is multi-stream and tariff-regulated: waste management fees (TARI/TARIP) set annually by municipal councils per the Piano Economico Finanziario, energy management service contracts with municipalities and building managers, pharmaceutical sales from communal pharmacies, and managed natural gas distribution through its ALD stake. Pricing incorporates the 'chi inquina paga' (polluter pays) principle for waste, with a 20% domestic composting discount and food surplus donation incentives for non-domestic users. The company reaches customers through physical service counters, the Riciclario app, the online portal, environmental education programs (In-Formazione Ambientale, EcoTour, ScuolaPark), webinars, and an annual customer satisfaction survey conducted by Strategica SRLS. The company is publicly owned, with no external investors, private equity, or venture capital backing identified.
