In this article we will share a sucessfull story of an sucesfull entrepreneur who build five factories on three continents and also share some short tips of a successful businessman:
Luan Muça started as a local company, and today his companies export to many countries around the world with a total turnover of 240 million euros per year. He is one of the Albanian industrialists and CEO who managed to build 5 factories in 3 continents; Europe, Africa and Asia. It has been operating in the USA for 4 years, where it has become one of the largest distributors for the area of New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia. In 2012, he founded the "Deutsch Color" factory in Albania, considered the largest in the Balkans in terms of the production of chemical products for the construction industry.

Muça has decided to follow the same path as Giorgio Squinzi of Mapei, building factories around the world. Muça has built a factory for the production of Deutche Color and Dast paints in Tunisia. Since 2019, "Deutsch Color" is present with its factory, also in Kairouan, Tunisia, which covers the needs of the African market thanks to technology and qualified Western staff.
In 2021, when every business was attracted to make new investments, due to the pandemic year, Luan Muça decided to invest in Bergamo, Italy, with the construction of a factory where from that moment he decided to call it "DC Industry". In September 2022, the production of the "DC Industry" factory in Bergamo, Italy started, which has created a portfolio of 1200 customers.
Even in Africa, he started the establishment of "DC Industry" in Senegal, which is known as one of the most modern and largest factories in that country. Two new projects under construction are "DC Industry Egypt" with an investment of 25 million euros, which is expected to be completed in November 2023, and "DC Industry India", which is expected to start production in 2024.
Here are some short tips for a successful businessman:
- Have a clear vision and mission for your business. Know what you want to achieve and how you will get there. A vision statement is a concise summary of your long-term goals, while a mission statement is a brief explanation of your purpose, values, and target market.
- Plan ahead and set SMART goals. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. These are the criteria that make your goals more effective and realistic. For example, instead of saying “I want to increase my sales”, you can say “I want to increase my sales by 10% in the next quarter by launching a new marketing campaign”.
- Learn from your mistakes and failures. No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. The key is to learn from them and not repeat them. Failure is not the end, but an opportunity to grow and improve. As Thomas Edison said, “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work”.
- Keep innovating and adapting to the changing market. The business world is constantly evolving and you need to keep up with the latest trends and customer needs. Don't be afraid to try new things and experiment with different strategies. You never know what might work until you try it.
- Network and build relationships with other entrepreneurs, customers, suppliers, and investors. Networking is a powerful way to expand your reach, gain new insights, and find new opportunities. You can network online through social media, blogs, forums, and podcasts, or offline through events, conferences, and workshops. Building relationships is also crucial for creating trust, loyalty, and referrals.
- Delegate and outsource tasks that are not your core competencies. You can't do everything by yourself and you need to focus on what you do best. Delegating and outsourcing tasks that are not your strengths or that are time-consuming can help you save time, money, and energy. You can hire employees, freelancers, or agencies to handle tasks such as accounting, legal, design, or IT.
- Invest in yourself and your team. You are your most valuable asset and you need to keep learning and growing. You can invest in yourself by reading books, taking courses, attending seminars, or hiring a coach or mentor. You also need to invest in your team by providing them with training, feedback, recognition, and incentives. A well-trained and motivated team can help you achieve your goals faster and better.
