"Diamonds are nothing more than chunks of coal that stuck to their jobs"
Malcom Stevenson Forbes
It is not a coincidence that I use a quote from a well-known publicist describing the term of business fortitude to lead you into this edition marking the 60th anniversary of Zagorje-Tehnobeton.
Our company, using incredible stubbornness, persevered through its turbulent past, and honed its construction craft, always remaining loyal to the engineering cause: from the times of Municipal Construction Company Varaždin, as the company was known back in 1946, to the Zagorje-Tehnobeton of today.
The best sign of our rich and productive history are, in fact, the many buildings that we erected all over Croatia and Europe. However, looking not to the past but to the future, our guideline and our goal is clear: further hone our craft to a diamond-like gleam and remain on the top of Croatian construction industry, while finding our place under the sun on the difficult European market.
Looking through the pages of this edition, you will be able to enjoy and inspect some of our newest construction projects, made possible by our many prominent and respected investors and all those who commissioned us to erect their visions.
Our wish is to awaken your interest for engaging our firm, as investors, partners, subcontractors, suppliers or associates, or to join us as experts or workers - our future employees.
We await you with open arms.
The future is ours because our dreams are becoming true - so why not achieve them together!
I thank all those who have selflessly contributed to our development: investors, clients, partners, employees and our many friends.
I sincerely hope that you will see these words, images and graphs and transform them into what they should be: a guideline to our proposed meeting, a “diamond” of our future cooperation.
Best regards - I am sure we will meet soon and persevere together!
