The founder of Nani Mobila has alleged an attempt to gain control of the company through a corporate dispute with the owner of a 40% stake
At a press conference on Friday, Igor Nani, who owns a 60% stake in Nani Mobila (Policasnica SRL), stated that this is not a dispute over ownership per se, but an attempt to gain control over the business he has built over the past 25 years. The entrepreneur claims that after transferring a 40% stake in the company to one of the managers—Veronica Storoj—in 2022 based on a relationship of trust, a conflict arose this year that subsequently escalated into a struggle for control of the company. According to the businessman, at the time of the transfer, the value of the 40% stake in the company’s assets was approximately 46 million lei; however, the transaction itself was recorded at 530,000 lei, based on the nominal value of the share in the authorized capital, which had previously been specifically reduced to facilitate the transaction “based on a relationship of trust.” According to Igor Nani, the opposing party currently values the entire company at approximately 6 million euros and is offering to buy back the 40% stake based on that valuation, i.e., for 2.4 million euros. The company’s founder also reported financial irregularities identified during an external audit. According to him, the damage to the company caused by his partner, as confirmed so far, amounts to at least 1 million lei; however, the audit is ongoing and the final amount may turn out to be higher. Reports have been filed with law enforcement agencies regarding several incidents. He emphasized that in several media outlets, Veronica Storoj was presented as the Owner and CEO of Nani Mobila (Policasnica SRL), whereas in reality, Igor Nani was and remains the founder, principal owner, and administrator of the company. According to him, this misleads customers and the market as a whole. The entrepreneur stated that he considers what is happening to be a modern version of a hostile takeover, where corporate procedures and legal mechanisms are used to gain control of the business. He called on government agencies to conduct an audit of financial flows, corporate decisions, and the actions of all individuals involved in the conflict. At the same time, the entrepreneur assured that the company continues to operate. According to him, there are currently some delays in fulfilling orders; however, the company expects to return to normal operations in the coming months, maintaining product quality and fully fulfilling its obligations to customers. Nani Mobila has been operating in the Moldovan market since 2000 and is one of the largest local furniture manufacturers. The company’s annual turnover in 2024 was 52.9 million lei, with a profit of 6.7 million lei; the company employs 52 people. // 05.06.2026 – InfoMarket.
