Our story SENGVILAY
Over 15 years building trust in Laos
SENGVILAY grew out of the ambition of Nguyen Dinh Kien, a native of Nghe An province in Vietnam who came to Laos to build a business with almost no trading experience, a small amount of saved capital and a family background of small-scale commerce.
The early days were extremely hard. Like many Vietnamese who came to Laos to make a living at the time, he started out as a travelling salesman, carrying pots, basins, dippers and household goods from village to village and selling them in instalments. Every day meant long trips to deliver goods and collect small repayments, sometimes only 10,000 kip from a customer. Those months and years taught him the value of persistence, of keeping your word, and of a customer's trust.
From supplying household goods to the Vietnamese business community in Laos, he gradually opened a small shop selling blankets, bed linen, pillows, mattresses and furniture. Guided by the principle of trust as the root, quality as the foundation and the customer at the centre, SENGVILAY grew step by step from a small shop into a substantial business in the Lao market.
After more than 15 years of growth, SENGVILAY has become one of the largest furniture and mattress distribution networks in Laos, with nearly 10,000 m² of warehousing, 2 showrooms totalling over 3,000 m², serving more than 1,000 dealers nationwide and supplying thousands of Vietnamese-owned businesses living and working in Laos.
Today SENGVILAY distributes a wide range of products — home furniture, beds, wardrobes, sofas, blankets, bed linen, pillows and mattresses — along with furnishing solutions for hotels, guesthouses, offices and commercial projects.
For us, success is not measured by size or revenue alone, but by the trust of our customers, the loyalty of our partners and the lasting value the business brings to the community.
Looking ahead, SENGVILAY will keep innovating, raising the quality of its products and service and building an ever more professional distribution network, with the goal of becoming the most trusted furniture and mattress brand in Laos.
SENGVILAY – shaping living spaces, nurturing trust and standing alongside the lasting growth of every family and every business in Laos.
