With an Investment of R$ 80 Million, Construction Company Promises to Boost the Economy and Create New Jobs

Lightwall, a reference in innovation in the construction sector, revealed its plans to open a new factory in Santa Catarina. With an estimated investment of R$ 80 million, the facility is expected to create 80 direct jobs and will specialize in the production of precast panels for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.

The announcement was discussed in a meeting held last Tuesday, the 12th, between company representatives and members of the State Treasury Department (SEF), Secretary of Industry, Commerce and Services (Sicos), and SCPar.

The chosen location is on the northern coast of the state, a strategic area to serve not only the growing market in Santa Catarina but also to meet the demands from Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul. The factory is expected to start operations in 2025, consolidating Lightwall’s presence in the southern region.

Technology and Agility in Construction

Lightwall uses a mix of innovative materials in the production of its precast panels. This combination results in lighter, highly resistant pieces with excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. Furthermore, the method allows for an extremely fast construction process. According to the company, a 40 square meter house can be assembled in just 12 hours, representing a revolution in the sector.

These technological differentials reinforce Lightwall’s commitment to offering solutions that combine efficiency, sustainability, and agility, essential characteristics to meet the growing demand for modern and optimized constructions.

National Expansion of Lightwall

The factory in Santa Catarina is part of an ambitious expansion plan by Lightwall. The company aims to open 11 new units across Brazil by 2026. Recently, the company opened a factory in Rio Claro, São Paulo, strengthening its leadership in the industrialized construction market.

The investment in Santa Catarina was driven by the favorable environment created by the state government. According to Silvio Dreveck, Secretary of State for Industry, Commerce, and Services, the Jorginho Mello administration has been actively working to attract new businesses to the state.

“Santa Catarina is the safest state in the country, has a qualified workforce, and companies benefit from a government that supports private investment. That is why we are such an attractive state for new businesses. Only the tax incentive programs have already ensured the creation of more than 64,000 direct and indirect jobs since 2023,” emphasized Dreveck.

Santa Catarina as a Hub for Private Investment

The beaches of Santa Catarina are becoming a strategic hub for major investments. The privileged location, robust infrastructure, and business-friendly environment have attracted various companies from different sectors.

Additionally, government initiatives aimed at tax incentives and deregulation are seen as key factors for the increasing interest from companies like Lightwall. This scenario positions the state as one of the major economic engines of the country, with the potential to directly impact the development of the entire southern region.

With the arrival of the new factory, Santa Catarina is preparing for another advancement in the construction sector, boosting jobs, innovation, and sustainable development.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Almost 10,000 km/h, 110,000 feet altitude, and New York–Paris in less than an hour: Venus Aerospace tests a rotating detonation engine and aims to transform the Stargazer into a reusable Mach 9 hypersonic plane, but still needs to prove that the promise moves beyond the prototype.

Air bubbles from 3 million years ago extracted from Antarctic ice reveal that the current level of CO₂ has already surpassed that of the ancient, warm world, when the sea was up to 20 meters higher and there were no factories or cars burning fuel.

Brazil went to China to seek money and technology to reinvent TV and bring the internet to places where fiber does not reach. The mission negotiated with the BRICS Bank led by Dilma and paved the way for a Chinese rival of Starlink to connect the Amazon.

About 150 workers are driving, one by one, 4,585 BYD electric cars off a 220-meter ship at the Port of Itajaí. The 48-hour mega-operation is the largest shipment from the Chinese automaker in Santa Catarina this year.

While Saudi Arabia and Qatar are already closing a 300-kilometer-per-hour bullet train to connect the capitals in two years, Brazil is still at the stage of auctioning the first freight railway that should actually come to fruition.

Egypt built an entire capital from scratch in the middle of the desert, with the tallest tower in Africa and the largest cathedral in the Middle East, to relieve Cairo of the burden of more than twenty million people.

Santa Catarina invests R$ 1 billion against the risk of El Niño, accelerates work on dams, cleans rivers, delivers 641 bridges and 126 water trucks, and prepares 295 municipalities for heavy rains, floods, and landslides still in 2026.

Building a 95-square-meter house in 2026 can start at around R$ 185,000 at the reference base and exceed R$ 330,000 in high standard, but the final cost depends on the land, finishing, fees, and the region, with the South of the country being among the most expensive in Brazil.

A small church built in 7 weeks in 1961 stands surrounded by skyscrapers in Balneário Camboriú, the city with the most expensive square meter in Brazil, accommodating only 60 people and defying decades of verticalization and luxury on the coast of Santa Catarina.
