Investment totals R$ 250 million between construction and equipment

The project foresees R$ 100 million applied directly to the construction and another R$ 150 million in equipment. In total, the investment reaches R$ 250 million.

Currently, the center has 2,500 employees. With the expansion, the company states it will be able to hire a thousand new workers, reinforcing the logistics operation linked to the network’s growth.

There is still no forecast for the inauguration of the new area. Even so, Luciano Hang already mentions the possibility of expanding the structure again in the future.

Expansion accompanies the growth of stores and sales

The expansion comes after Havan reported a revenue of R$ 18.5 billion last year and a net profit of R$ 3.5 billion, a result 16% higher compared to 2024.

The company also reported having reached the historic milestone of half a billion reais paid in PPR to employees. For 2026, the projection is to reach R$ 22 billion in revenues.

Network started in a 45 m² store in 1986

The first Havan store was opened in 1986, with 45 square meters, in partnership between Luciano Hang and Vanderlei de Limas, who is no longer part of the company.

Three years later, the network moved to a larger space, following the expansion of the product variety. Today, the company reports having more than 300,000 items in the catalog.
