The presentation ceremony and first philatelic usage of the stamp took place on April 9, 2026, at the Salone degli Arazzi of Palazzo Piacentini, in the presence of Fausta Bergamotto, Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT), representatives of Poste Italiane and the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato (IPZS), Italy’s State Mint and printing institute, as well as senior executives from the chosen companies.
The series honours long-established companies that have contributed to the country’s industrial development and to promoting Made in Italy globally. Alongside CISA, the selected companies include Acqua S.Bernardo, Beretta, Brugola, Ducati, Eni (Agip), Maserati, Pizzoli and Unoaerre.
The anniversary marks both the origins of the company in Florence and the idea born in 1926 that led Luigi Bucci to patent the first electrically controlled lock for gates. This innovation marked the beginning of a journey that has led CISA to become one of the leading companies in security and access control.
The stamp dedicated to CISA depicts a modern armoured door fitted with a high security lock system—including bolts, latch, handle and a key inserted into the cylinder—with a detailed focus on the RS5 cylinder. The image is accompanied by the centenary logo and the pay-off “SINCE 1926 WE CREATE SECURITY.”
“This recognition reflects a legacy that began 100 years ago and continues to evolve through innovation. It is a tribute to our history and to the people who built it—and a door open to the future,” said Maurizio Marguccio, Country Manager Italy.
