environmentally friendly all-weather wicker and thatch. PT. Polymindo Permata began as a
synthetic extrusion specialist which was producing candy stick, straw, tube, hose to supply varies
industries in Indonesia including of automotive industry.
PT. Polymindo Permata, launched as a brand Viro in 1998, is based in Indonesia and has gained a
global market of furniture and tropical building industry in manufacturing new developed
material all-weather wicker and thatch.
In the beginning of using synthetic alternatives material trend in tropical building industry, most
of the market was still unaccustomed with synthetic wicker and thatch from new developed
material of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene). PT. Polymindo Permata had nevertheless started
producing synthetic rattan/fiber, bamboo, thatch, and advanced to more innovative product
under the brand Viro. We are confident that the material and technology we used will earn trust
and loyalty from the market.

Viro is more famous in Europe rather than in home country, Indonesia because several years ago
there were some argument about synthetic material, but because Europe don’t have this natural
material, they use the synthetic.
Virobuild market is interior designer and architect. Usually the usage of this material is to make
the maintenance cost low.
Viro often do exhibition to promote. This company also has website and social media. When we
visited the project, the marketing team used social media to make a photo competition. It is
good idea to promote.
