Over the past three decades, the Phongsavanh Group has grown step by step under the founder's vision of conducting a profitable business enterprise, juxtaposed by bettering people's quality of life and consolidating economic expansion.
The group has grown remarkably since it diversified into various business sectors of the wood industry, telecommunications, trading, construction, banking and financial institutions, mining, oil and petroleum products, airlines, franchises, innovation, convenience stores, logistics and insurance.
Among the sectors, the wood industry emphasised the export of processed wood, which was closed in 2008 to follow the direction of government policy and for the natural preservation of forestry.
The group has participated in the socio-economic development of the country progressively, paying taxes to the government annually.
In addition, it is a donor to ministries, organisations and the grass-roots level and has assisted in times of natural disaster such as drought and flooding, as well as supporting national sports activities and important events.
To apply the national policy of the Three Builds, the Group supported the directive by providing loans at low interest rates to farmers to reduce their level of poverty.
So people are happy with the activities of the firm and it gives more confidence to the government, officials said.
Regarding coordination with foreign countries, the group has good coordination with Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Russia and Dubai, in the exchange for merchandise and investment.
It has representative offices in Vietnam, China, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Myanmar which have helped Laos to become well known in the region and at the international level.
