# The Legacy of Avian Brands: From Local Innovation to National Leadership
The story of PT Avia Avian began in 1962, when Soetikno Tanoko opened a modest paint shop in Malang. At the time, few could have predicted that this small retail venture would evolve into one of Indonesia’s most dominant industrial powerhouses. Recognizing that the local market was heavily reliant on expensive imported goods, Tanoko pioneered a strategy of mixing basic paint colors to create a diverse range of shades that catered specifically to local demand.
By 1978, the company officially launched its manufacturing operations in Sidoarjo, East Java. Despite competing in a market dominated by international giants, the founders utilized extensive research and development to launch the "Avian" brand, which quickly became a household name. Today, PT Avia Avian stands as a pioneer in the industry, distinguished as the only paint manufacturer in the country to utilize a fully integrated production system. Their product portfolio features market-leading brands, including:
* Avian: The premium choice for high-quality wood and metal coatings.
* Avitex: A flagship interior wall paint known for its superior coverage and durability.
* No Drop: The industry standard for waterproofing and leak protection.
