With around 100 square meters of collaboration, workshop and brainstorming spaces, located in Marquês de Pombal, the new hub marks a pivotal moment in HAVI Supply Chain’s journey towards growth and adaptability, positioning the company at the forefront of technological advancement and business expansion.
The opening of the new technology hub, which represents an investment of around 5 million dollars, is an important milestone for the company’s strategy.

The launch of the HAVI SC TechHUB Portugal signifies a monumental step towards this vision, leveraging digitalization, mobilization, and automation to propel HAVI Supply Chain’s growth trajectory.
Located in central Lisbon, the country’s capital choice, the choice of destination holds profound significance. Portugal’s rich history of discovery and innovation embodies the spirit of curiosity, resilience, and etermination—values that resonate deeply with HAVI’s ethos. Moreover, Portugal’s vibrant multicultural community and technological prowess offer an ideal environment for driving HAVI Supply Chain’s digital transformation journey forward.
“Portugal’s history and cultural evolution derive strength from the resilience of its sailors, discoverers, and navigators,” remarked Reto Sahli, CIO at HAVI Supply Chain. “Their openness to the world has made Portugal a global focal point for living and working. Today, we find a highly multicultural community, known for its strong integration ability and a sense of togetherness that brings out the best in people.”
At the heart of the new TechHUB lies a commitment to HAVI’s Supply Chain core values. “This isn’t about creating a new culture; it’s about evolving HAVI’s essence to be more creative, flexible, and agile,” commented Reto Sahli. “It’s about embracing experimentation and innovation while upholding our core values.”
The TechHUB serves not only as a physical space but as a symbol of HAVI Supply Chain’s leadership in the supply chain industry and its dedication to technological innovation.
As HAVI Supply Chain charts its course towards the future, the new TechHUB stands as a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to driving change, not merely reacting to it. With technology as the enabler and people as the driving force, HAVI Supply Chain is poised to reimagine the future of technology and propel business growth into new frontiers.
