Historyof ÉMI Letter of theCEO
Ever since it was founded five decades ago, ÉMI’s
employees have been led by a commitment towards
a built environment that provides a sustainable lifestyle,
and towards new and reliable technologies.
The efforts of the past five decades, as well as our respect
for knowledge as a value and our loyalty towards each other
and our work, have all served the purpose of ÉMI becoming
an inevitable player in the Hungarian construction industry
and a center of professional/intellectual competence.
This has been achieved through providing cutting edge,
quality services that meet European standards, and active
and responsible social engagement.
In the name of all the CEOs of the past five decades I would
like to thank all our current and past staff members for
their hard and excellent work – without this successful
past, we would not be armed for future challenges.
And in order for us to be able to respond to these
challenges, it is also indispensable to be aware of our
present mission, that is, to provide assessment systems
and stimulate the spreading of technologies that render
our built environment to be lasting, environmentally
friendly, energy-saving and livable.
Our activities cover the entire scope of the construction
and building material industries. We:
• contribute to attesting the conformity of construction
products by providing tests, supervision and
certificates;
• support the participants of the construction sector with
our expert advice and consulting activities;
• assist construction firms in developing their building
products and/or technology through tests and
experiments;
• participate in developing professional regulations
and preparing public measures;
• have significant experience in the preparation and
evaluation of national and international tenders; and
• are known as experts of renewable energy supplies
and methods to improve the energy-efficiency
of the constructed environment.
In the construction industry – similarly to other sectors
of production and the economy – technology has an
ever-increasing role to play. Today, besides shaping the
environments of our communities, sustainability and
environmental awareness are also becoming increasingly
important for the construction industry. Nice ideas are
not enough - they must be put into practice as well.
It is especially important to achieve substantive improvement
in the areas of pollutant emission and energy consumption.
This, however, cannot happen without a continuous
dialogue and active cooperation among the players of the
knowledge industry and other parts of the economy.
In a changing environment, facing new challenges,
we have to keep on providing excellent performance
through high quality labor. We, the professionals working
at ÉMI, believe that through our dedicated, persistent
and disciplined work, and our love for our profession,
together we shall succeed in meeting the challenges
of the upcoming years.
