Jean-Pierre Grzelczyk, founder of Savan Logistics, has been awarded the prestigious Legion of Honor by the French government. The award was presented by French Ambassador to Laos, Siv-Leng Chhuor, in recognition of his dedication to strengthening Laos’ economy, particularly through professional training programs for Lao citizens.

Grzelczyk has played a key role in modernizing the Savannakhet dry port, positioning Laos as a strategic hub along the East-West Economic Corridor. His leadership has helped boost cross-border trade and attract global investments. With Savan Logistics now under the ownership of DP World, Laos’ role in regional trade is expected to grow further.

Beyond logistics, Grzelczyk has prioritized local workforce development, ensuring that Lao professionals are equipped to drive the country’s economic future. His recognition with the Legion of Honor highlights his contributions to Franco-Lao relations and Laos’ integration into ASEAN trade networks.
