Pacific Paint
History
Passing through the first milestone of Pacific Paint, was the beginning of a dream from an Indonesian person who was about to start his success. In Segitiga Senen [a business center area in Central Jakarta], Achmad Suriawinata built his business in 1943, a home industry with the brand of decorative paint. Started from a tiny manufacturer, the Pacific Paint business has been developing in four generations, because at that time, there was only one brand of decorative paint, which was available in the local market and available only in limited amount of stocks.
Achmad Suriawinata bequeathed the business and its work ethic since the beginning of Pacific Paint established. He started his business through taking over the modest paint manufacturer owned by a Dutchman. At that time, the business of paint manufacturer was still using the manual process in the formed of panels and drums. Even to sell the products were still using the manual vehicle, bicycling door to door.
Years after, with the hard work and efforts, the Pacific Paint business has been well growing. Thereafter, the local production tools were being added to support the production process and followed by involving the overseas partnerships. In 1970, the production process became much better and efficient. One of them was having a joint venture together with Dainippon Ink & Chemical Inc developing a factory to produce the synthetic resin. Afterward, Pacific Paint also did a breakthrough by setting up its own tin-packaging production. We hired chemistry experts and laboratory technicians to monitor the product quality and consistency.
