One of the most important things that mark a successful company is its leadership. Even businesses that can earn a lot of money need successful, quality people at the reins of the operations to operate correctly. Fito Salume took over Spartan Chemicals and has completely transformed the company, resulting in tremendous growth.
Salume bought a 50% stake in the Colombia franchise of Spartan Chemicals about three years ago. They make cleaning and sanitizing solutions for factories, food manufacturers, hospitals, farms, and restaurants. The company was struggling at the time, and Salume was positive; he could turn it around. Since he took over the company, Spartan Chemicals has had a 20% year-over-year growth. This can be credited to Salume’s leadership. “I knew things had to change to make my investment worthwhile,” Fito said. “We’re now amongst the top four largest companies in our industry and one of the largest privately-owned corporations in the world.”
One of the things that he did upon taking over was restructuring the business management. “Our leadership structure wasn’t working. I knew I needed to change things for the benefit of everyone in the company.”
Fito is passionate that the people who work at his company are the most critical elements of success. Hiring quality people will make your business succeed. As time goes on, the profit margins of Spartan Chemicals continue to increase.
Salume is also at the head of Limpius Ecotech, which supplies sanitizing services to institutional clients. The business has been booming since the start of the pandemic for its sophisticated deep cleaning services. All of their products are eco-friendly. “We’re so happy to be helping people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our deep cleaning products are keeping people safe, which is our utmost goal.”
Fito Salume runs over 50 companies and lends his business expertise to each one. As time goes on, he knows he can bring them all up to the profit margins that Spartan Chemicals has achieved.
