Simpals becomes a member of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Moldova

20 March 2026

Simpals Company has joined the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Moldova (CCI RM), the largest business association in the country.

The CCI RM boasts a tradition of over 100 years and brings together more than 1,100 members from various economic sectors. Through this membership, Simpals expands its visibility and gains access to local and international business networks, strengthening its active role in the economic community.

“For us, joining the CCI RM is a strategic step. It opens access to an extensive network of partners and provides us with visibility in international markets,”  stated Roman Stirbu, CEO of Simpals.

The benefits of this membership are not limited to the institutional level but also extend to the products developed within the company. These include Lobster – a revolutionary weight system for freediving, recognized and used by athletes worldwide, and Sonr – an internationally award-winning underwater communication device used by coaches and swimmers in dozens of countries.

“This collaboration represents an opportunity for us to further promote innovations created in Moldova. Lobster is already recognized in the international freediving community, and the support of the CCI helps us accelerate our path to new markets,” commented the Lobster team.

In turn, Sonr also feels the direct benefits of this collaboration: “We are a product born in Chisinau and used today in dozens of countries. Through the CCI, we now have a better framework to strengthen these connections and create new ones,” mentioned Sonr representatives.

For Simpals, membership in the CCI confirms that a modern business's role extends beyond profit to building valuable connections. “A modern business is not limited to economic growth. It means bringing value to the community and building bridges to international markets,” added Vlad Glinjan, the manager responsible for this membership on behalf of Simpals.

Thus, joining the CCI RM is not just a formality, but a confirmation of the company's openness to collaboration, responsibility, and innovation – a step through which Simpals assumes its mission to bring value and inspiration, both in Moldova and beyond its borders.
