# Building a Legacy: The Story of Avian Brands and Current Internship Opportunities
The journey of Avian Brands began in 1962 with a modest paint shop in Malang, Indonesia. Founded by Soetikno Tanoko, this small venture eventually evolved into PT Avia Avian, a titan in the national manufacturing industry. At a time when the market relied heavily on expensive imports, Tanoko pioneered local innovation by meticulously blending custom colors to meet customer demand. By 1978, PT Avia Avian officially launched its operations in Sidoarjo, East Java, challenging foreign-dominated competitors to establish the iconic "Avian" brand through rigorous research and development. Today, the company stands as a leader in the industry, renowned for its fully integrated production systems and trusted household names like Avian, Avitex, and No Drop.
