The SmartStorage --- Note: "SmartStorage" is a term that likely refers to a specific product, technology, or concept. Since it is a proper noun or a brand name, it remains unchanged in the translation. It reaches a decisive milestone in its trajectory by investing over R$$ 80 million in the construction and retrofit of its own units. This investment consolidates the company as one of the national leaders in self storage and marks the beginning of a new phase: expansion through franchises, whose structured model will be launched in 2025, with plans for growth in different regions of the country.

According to Francisco Canuto, CEO of SmartStorage, the movement follows urban transformations and the increasing demand for smart and flexible space management solutions. “Our goal is to expand access to sustainable self storage, with app-based access, while maintaining operational efficiency and reducing environmental impact. We are ready to bring this model to all of Brazil,” he states.

The company's strategy combines technology, app access, and sustainable practices. Currently, 80% of the units already operate with solar energy, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. According to ABSOLAR, the distributed generation of solar energy in Brazil has avoided, until 2024, the emission of approximately 64.2 million tons of CO₂, the equivalent of removing thousands of vehicles from circulation for a year. Additionally, companies can save up to 95% on electricity costs by adopting this energy source.
