Years and important events
  Year 1988

    Souvanny shop was established from the vision of Ms. Souvanny seeing economic growth opportunity in Lao PDR, construction and infrastructure industries in particular, together with Mr. Waddana who just graduated in architecture and had a lot of experiences in construction. At this time was also the period of Government support to promote the economy. As such, they decided to start the distribution business of construction materials in a shophouse (approximately area 50 sq.m) at Sisawat Village, Chanthabuly District, Vientiane Lao PDR. However, currently, it becomes a sub-branch (Thongkhankham branch) with the registered capital LAK 3,250,000.

  Year 1993

    According to the rapid growth in the construction industry in Lao PDR, the need for construction material products was increased, causing higher competition in the industry, leading the Company lost track of cost management. However, the Company eventually found the ways to directly buy the products from the suppliers in a time that the Government promotes international trades on the Thai-Lao border, leading the Company to be able to overcome its competitors. To improve the Company structure, the Company was registered as Souvanny Trading Export-Import Sole Company Limited with registered capital LAK 100,000,000.
