Looks to be a smoothing group and/or normals issue relating to .obj export/import which is discussed here:

Checkout out post 11 in the above thread which discusses  the normals from SM group setting in the .obj importer and see if that works for you.

@10DSpace thak You for Your answer,

I just checked proposed method.  When I set import normals from smoothing groups models work well. But it don't solve my problem, because my client's aplication don't have import options. Adding edit normals modifier and make explicit causes another problems.
