# The Legacy of Avian Brands: From a Local Paint Shop to an Industry Titan
The story of Avia Avian begins in 1962, inside a modest paint shop in Malang. At the time, few could have predicted that this small-scale enterprise would eventually evolve into a cornerstone of Indonesia’s industrial landscape. By identifying a significant gap in a market heavily reliant on expensive imports, founder Soetikno Tanoko took a bold step forward. He began innovating by blending limited paint pigments into a vibrant, diverse palette that resonated deeply with his local customers.
## Establishing a National Powerhouse
By 1978, the vision matured into a full-scale operation as PT Avia Avian officially launched in Sidoarjo, East Java. Entering a sector dominated by international corporations, the founders relied on rigorous research and development to carve out a unique identity. Today, PT Avia Avian stands as one of the few paint manufacturers in Indonesia to implement a fully integrated production system, ensuring excellence at every stage of the manufacturing process.
Our portfolio features some of the most recognized and trusted brands in the nation:
