"Avian brands are the leader of the market share reaching 20 percent. Avian brands are able to record positive business performance supported by sales of decorative paints and architectural solution products," explained Oki.

Meanwhile, Deputy President Director of Avia Avian Ruslan Tanoko said that after the IPO, the company's valuation will be in the range of 26 to 31 times the price-earnings (PE) of 2022 net profit.
