KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. PT Avia Avian Tbk (AVIA), a paint issuer from Tancorp Group, has several agendas to maintain its business sustainability. One of the agendas is the modernization of some facilities of AVIA's first factory located in Sidoarjo, East Java.

Avia Avian's Head of Investor Relations, Andreas Timothy Hadikrisno, said that the modernization or renovation plan of the factory will begin when the company's paint factory in Cirebon has started production.
