Before taking over the Gazprom gas station network in Romania, Iulian Stanciu was involved in a series of investments and partnerships. Among these, Inspire Asset Management, the company he founded, was set to become a shareholder in NIBIRU Real Estate, a transaction subject to the approval of the Competition Council.
At the same time, Stanciu also appeared in the context of discussions regarding expansion into electro-IT retail: PPC intended to acquire Flanco, a company controlled by him, and discussions were ongoing without a finalized agreement.
In parallel, the region’s energy market was marked by tensions and transactions related to sanctioned Russian companies. In this context, negotiations regarding the sale of Lukoil’s assets, including potential assets in Romania, as well as the preparation of an offer for these international operations, were reported.
