Manampin Girsang (born in Brastagi, on 13 May 1969), widely known by his nickname, Pipin, is an Indonesian entrepreneur and author from Brastagi, North Sumatera, Indonesia. [1] [2] He founded PT Gabe International, an export-focused furniture company, in 1991. [1] [3]

Childhood and early career

When he was a child, his father, who worked in the national electricity company PT PLN, wanted Pipin to be an engineer. He was sent to an engineering high school in Brastagi. [1] After he graduated, he continued his education at the Faculty of Engineering, at the University of Indonesia. [1] Yet, as he was more interested in language and literature, he chose to drop out and move to Bali in 1989. [1]

Equipped with his ability to speak English, he tried to find a job in Bali. [1] Sometimes, he also worked part-time as a tourist guide. [1] A mutual friend then introduced him to an Italian entrepreneur named Giovanni, who soon became his friend and mentor. [1] Giovanni asked Pipin to sell his product, a brand of bikini. [1] He mainly sold the product in Kuta Beach but was then arrested and confiscated as he was not a member of the local seller association. [1]

After the incident, Giovanni asked Pipin to build a new venture that buys and sells antiquities. [1] Pipin agreed and suggested that they focus on selling antique furniture. [1] Giovanni then gave him a camera and funds to find the antiquities in Jepara and Madura. [1] Pipin completed the task and sold the items in Bali. [1] At the time, he received 10% from the sales as his commission. [1]

PT Gabe International

Satisfied by his work, Giovanni invested more funds for Pipin. He sent Pipin Rp.30.000.000 to build a workshop in Jepara, a small town that was popular for its furniture and handicrafts. [1] Giovanni also gave him some freedom to find buyers beside him. [1]

He named his company Gabe International in 1991. [1] The company's name "Gabe" came from the name of an angel in his religion, Gabriel. [1] "Gabe" can also mean "be it" in Batak language. [4] He mainly sells his product through digital means, including using websites and social media. [1] In 2014, the company started to penetrate the domestic market. Most notably by supplying furniture for Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali, and several hotels in the area. [2] [3] [5]
