Katalin Orosz

In this edition of Business de Familie, the show where we uncover the stories behind some of the most well-known companies built with heart, courage, and vision, we stop in Cluj. Here, in the 1990s, a young man laid the foundations of a business that would become a landmark in Romania’s meat industry: Carmangeria Moldovan.

Our guest is Cosmin Moldovan himself — the man who turned a small local business into a trusted brand, known for its quality and tradition.

In this episode, we learn what it means to build a family business step by step, and what it takes to make a bold decision: bringing in an external CEO to lead your own company.

Watch below an authentic discussion about values, growth, and responsibility in family businesses.
