The AVIN Story: Built on Resilience, Fuelled by Passion
At AVIN, we wish we could tell you our success story has been nothing short of magic. But in truth, it’s a tale of challenges, grit, and unwavering determination.
Our journey is deeply rooted in family, friends, and the values of honesty and transparency. It’s through these principles that we’ve forged a brand as unique and resilient as the people behind it.
Our founder, Etienne Terblanche, started AVIN with a bold decision: to part ways with his father’s business—a move that strained family dynamics but eventually paved the way for mutual respect and support. From using a humble container in his father’s workshop as a starting point, to receiving a helping hand with materials, this transition was far from easy. Yet, it was this foundation that shaped AVIN into the brand it is today.
With 22 years of experience under his belt, Etienne poured his expertise, heart, and soul into building AVIN. His vision was clear: to craft extraordinary, high-quality ovens that embody the values of authenticity and excellence.
But the road wasn’t always smooth. Along the way, we faced challenges such as competitors attempting to replicate our designs and the prevailing scepticism toward South African-made products. Yet, these obstacles only strengthened our resolve to deliver unparalleled craftsmanship and service.
As Etienne puts it:
“AVIN is personal and very dear to me. Every product we create reflects our commitment to quality and care. Nothing is done halfway.”
From our very first market launched, to becoming a trusted name in countless South African homes, AVIN has grown into more than a brand—it’s a way to bring people together. Whether it’s the joy of gathering around an AVIN oven, rain or shine, or the memories made with family and friends, we’re proud to be part of these special moments.
The AVIN Promise
We don’t just build ovens; we build experiences. Our products are designed to be cost-effective, long-lasting, and tailored to each customer’s unique style. With every detail, we aim to exceed expectations and create an unforgettable customer experience.
At AVIN, we believe in the power of food, family, and friends to make life extraordinary. And as we continue to grow, our commitment remains the same: to bring warmth, connection, and quality into every home.
So, whether you’re enhancing your brand, hosting a gathering, or simply seeking a new cooking adventure, let AVIN set you apart.
