|---|---|---|
| Country in archive | Taiwan | Italy |
| Founded | 1998 | 1945 |
| Founder | Zhong Jinsheng (founder of parent Kuan Mei Plastics) | Alberto Beggio |
| Headquarters | Tainan, Tainan City, Taiwan | Noale, Veneto, Italy |
| Name origin | Aeon Motor Co., Ltd. is commonly known as Aeon, and the company's Chinese name is 宏佳騰. The sources consulted do not explain where the name Aeon came from, so no meaning is claimed here. Aeontek is the newer form used in the latest logo. | Wikipedia states that Aprilia was named after the pre-war Lancia Aprilia, a car. The company was founded by Cavaliere Alberto Beggio in Noale, near Venice, so the name is not a family surname. |
