Gallothai 
Jean-Louis Graindorge,
Managing Director
BELGIAN chocolatier Jean-Louis has been raising standards in the chocolate industry in Thailand for over 20 years. Paul Graindorge founded Gallothai in 1993 and in 1999 his son Jean-Louis took over the management of the company. In 20 years, Gallothai grew to become a significant player in the Thai chocolate scene, be it by supplying major hotels and restaurants with its treats or by opening Duc de Praslin chocolateries in Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai and Pattaya. He established Belco Confectionery Co., Ltd in 2001 to produce chocolate raw materials in Thailand as opposed to importing it from abroad, and to supply the local industrial sector. Jean-Louis is also the Managing Director of Puratos, which manufactures raw materials for the bakery, patisserie and chocolate sectors.
