Alliance with Sodimac:
leadership in home improvement

Falabella takes its first steps in the home improvement and construction markets, through a partnership with Home Depot in Chile. Four years later, the Group acquires the operation. Meanwhile, Sodimac, which was founded in 1952, was looking for a partner to further consolidate its leadership in the segment.

 

Falabella merges with Sodimac, keeping its culture of teamwork, which creates the first home improvement chain in Latin America.

Sodimac acquires 60% of Imperial, a Chilean home improvement chain, which allows it to serve the carpentry and furnishings specialist markets.

Falabella launches Homy in Chile, a new store concept which aims to mass market design and home decor.

Falabella acquires Maestro, a home improvement chain in Peru, expanding its presence in the construction segment in that country.
