Malaysian food and beverage (F&B) café chain operator Oriental Kopi Holdings Bhd is expanding its international footprint into Indonesia and Mauritius, marking another step in its strategy to grow the Oriental Kopi brand across regional markets.
The company said its wholly owned subsidiary, Oriental Coffee International Sdn Bhd, has entered into a strategic joint venture with PT Era Boga Nusantara (EBN) to establish and operate Oriental Kopi cafés in Indonesia.
EBN, also known as Erajaya Food & Nourishment, is part of Indonesian retail conglomerate PT Erajaya Swasembada Tbk, providing Oriental Kopi with an established local partner to support its expansion into one of Southeast Asia’s largest consumer markets.
Under the joint venture, EBN will hold a 60% stake in PT Era Oriental Kopi, while Oriental Coffee International will own the remaining 40%.
The new company will be responsible for developing and operating Oriental Kopi outlets across Indonesia, with its initial expansion focused on the Greater Jakarta area, also known as Jabodetabek.
The first Oriental Kopi outlet in Indonesia is targeted to open by the end of 2026 at Central Park Mall in West Jakarta. The mall is one of Jakarta’s prominent shopping and lifestyle destinations and forms part of the wider Podomoro City development.
Beyond Indonesia, Oriental Coffee International has also signed a Territory Franchise Agreement with Coffee Time Ltd, an integrated F&B operator based in Mauritius, to introduce and develop the Oriental Kopi brand in the island nation.
The move gives Oriental Kopi an opportunity to establish its presence in another international market while working with local partners who understand the respective consumer and F&B landscapes.
The overseas expansion comes after the group previously entered the Singapore market, reflecting its broader strategy of taking its Malaysian café concept beyond the domestic market and building a stronger regional presence.
With Indonesia, Mauritius and Singapore forming part of its international expansion plans, Oriental Kopi is positioning itself to grow its network of cafés while bringing its Malaysian-inspired food and beverage offering to a wider customer base across different markets.
