Our first steps!
The core activity of the company set up in 1995 under the name of A.P.P. Kereskedő és Szolgáltató Bt. with an equity of HUF6000 was wholesale and foreign trade. At that time, architecture and civil engineering and the related technical support figured only as secondary activity. Péter Csizmadia was appointed its sole representative. In 1997, the company was transformed into a limited liability company, with Gábor Varga manager-owner registered as second representative. It was the “dare to dream big” attitude of these two persons that set the micro enterprise on the path of development and growth. The same year, the company headquarters were relocated to a property in Fehérvári út, where the company rented first a few office rooms, then the entire 3rd floor and, finally, in 2011, thanks to the dynamic growth of the company, they purchased the whole office building. From Autumn 2015 on, after 20 years, the two owners agreed to thread the path of “green roof” construction separately but in cooperation, as partners.

Sustainable Development
The company gives special emphasis to serving the needs of society without compromising the living conditions of future generations. Our credo for sustainable development is that…
- ”No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it” (quoted by Einstein)
- look for the solution “outside” the system
- everything is connected, so think in terms of correlations rather than priorities.
- regulations are meant to preserve the future in a good condition.
- work started in the past, creating the future, needs to be consolidated in the present.
- the best problem-solving is prevention.
- not knowing every in- and output of the problem does not mean you should not tackle it.
- good decisions can be taken by those who will be concerned by them.
Responsibility
The guideline and main motive of the company is to ensure and sustain the liveability of the built environment. Half of the R+D budget is allocated to finding technological solutions promoting the extensive applicability of green roofs and providing long-term options to improve and make liveable the urban ecosystem. The other half of the R+D budget goes to the development of products protecting human life. We place an extremely high value on the safety of people working at height, on roofs; the sales of our products providing individual and collective protection make up half of our turnover.
Warranty
Product and service quality is guaranteed by the quality management system, the quality manager of the company, and by regular internal and external audits. High-quality product development lets our products outperform compared to the international requirements. This is confirmed by the protocols and certificates of testing agencies. For more details on the manufacturer’s guarantee of the products, ask our salespersons.
Vision and Brand name
The company vision of “a city filled with gardens” is the perfect expression of the owners’ thinking and approach, and their staff and partners are working steadily on implementing that concept. We are convinced that good intentions are not enough: you have to act to make the environment friendlier, healthier and greener. We contribute to our partners’ efforts to create a green environment by offering individual products and custom-tailored services.
Our vision is enhanced by the brand name DIADEM®: green roofs created on the rooftop of buildings, i.e. liveable parks and green islands in the grey and lifeless urban environment, look like beautiful headbands adorning someone’s head. The diadem is a jewel in a woman’s hair; DIADEM® is the green jewel adorning the roofs in cities.
