Samir Mane's entrepreneurial odyssey began in the charming city of Korça, Albania, a world away from the bustling streets of Vienna, Austria, where he would later lay the foundation for his business empire. His initial foray into the professional world as a translator was crucial, equipping him with skills in communication, adaptability, and a deep understanding of cultural nuances - all vital in the global business arena.

In 1993, he tapped into an unexplored market in Albania, launching a venture in electronic products and home appliances. This business, modest at its inception, quickly grew into Albatrade, the stepping stone to the BALFIN Group. Under his strategic leadership, BALFIN Group expanded its reach across Europe and America, managing over 50 companies in 10 countries. By 2022, it had accumulated total assets of €2.1 billion, showcasing his exceptional business acumen and strategic foresight.

Bold and innovative ventures mark his career. The establishment of Alba Trade in Austria laid the groundwork for his success in electronic goods distribution. In 2002, he ventured into real estate with Mane TCI (later BALFIN Construction), diversifying his business interests and demonstrating his capacity for growth and innovation.

Samir Mane Balfin Group has been globally recognized for his contributions to the business world. The "High Honor Decorate for Services to the Republic of Austria" in 2019 and the "For Special Civil Merits" from the President of the Republic of Albania in 2016 are among his notable accolades. These honors and his inclusion in the Financial Times' top four "People to Watch in Business" affirm his status as a global business luminary.
