Surabaya, April 11, 2022 - PT Avia Avian Tbk. (“AVIA”), the leading decorative paint manufacturer issuer in Indonesia, continues to innovate by adapting to the dynamic needs of society. One such need is the desire for safety and to avoid the risk of exposure to the Covid-19 virus and deadly bacteria. Seeing this opportunity, AVIA presents a high-tech paint variant, namely Avitex Anti Viruz, which uses powerhealth technology formulation.
Wijono Tanoko as President Director of AVIA stated “We realize that the spread of viruses or bacteria does not only come from outside but can also originate from inside the home. Therefore, the Company continues to commit by providing various innovative paint solutions that meet community needs, such as paint that is safe and capable of killing the Corona virus and bacteria up to 99.9%.”
AVIA uses powerhealth technology formulation to provide dual protection against various types of viruses and bacteria in wall paint products by launching the brand Avitex Anti Viruz. This technology provides active 3S protection (Attack, Simultaneously, Stop) which is capable of destroying the protein and DNA/RNA material of viruses and bacteria, thereby stopping the proliferation and transmission of diseases caused by viruses and bacteria on walls.
On the other hand, AVIA also pays attention to environmental and health impacts. This is evident from sustainable efficiency efforts supported by the Company's operational excellence in producing raw materials internally and consistently committing to implementing sustainable Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) business practices in the Company's operational activities.
“We hope that AVIA's efforts can make a positive contribution to both the environment and the health of the Indonesian community. This is also a form of AVIA's commitment as a leading decorative paint company in Indonesia to continuously enhance the trust of our customers and provide quality and sustainable products,” concluded Wijono.
