“The establishment of the community industrial complex will yield benefits for all parties, promoting protection of the origin and tradition of longstanding small pot spirits, the quality of Lao white whisky and income generation for local people.”
Khong Sedon Alcohol Distillery was established in 2002 in Napheng, Khongsedon district, Saravan, as an original small pot alcohol producer. In 2005, the alcoholic product of the factory won a golden trophy from the National Chamber of Commerce and Industry. More people joined the alcohol production scheme of the company by distilling alcohol for the company to bottle, pack and sell to domestic markets.
