# Building a Legacy: The Story of Avian Brands and Current Internship Opportunities
The journey of Avian Brands began in 1962, rooted in the humble origins of a small paint shop in Malang owned by Soetikno Tanoko. At the time, few could have predicted that this modest storefront would evolve into PT Avia Avian, a titan in the Indonesian manufacturing sector. By identifying a significant gap in an import-dependent market, Tanoko pioneered local innovation, crafting bespoke color palettes that resonated deeply with his customers. This commitment to quality and accessibility eventually led to the formal establishment of PT Avia Avian in 1978 in Sidoarjo, East Java.
Today, Avian Brands stands as a cornerstone of the domestic industry, distinguished as one of the few producers to maintain a fully integrated manufacturing system. With legendary product lines—such as the durable Avian wood and metal paints, the iconic Avitex wall paint, and the trusted No Drop waterproofing solutions—the company continues to shape the aesthetics and protection of homes across the nation.
