Oriental Kopi expands to Indonesia through JV deal with Erajaya
The group is also expanding into Mauritius in a separate franchise agreement.
Malaysian-listed coffee chain Oriental Kopi Holdings Berhad has entered into a joint venture with Erajaya Food & Nourishment (PT Era Boga Nusantara) to expand the brand to Indonesia.
The two will form the JV company PT Era Oriental Kopi. Under the agreement, Erajaya will hold a 60% equity interest, whilst Oriental Kopi will own 40% through its wholly owned subsidiary, Oriental Coffee International Sdn. Bhd.
The collaboration will undertake the establishment, development and operation of Oriental Kopi cafés in Indonesia, with initial expansion focused on the Greater Jakarta area, or Jabodetabek.
The first outlet is targeted to open by the end of 2026 at Central Park Mall in West Jakarta, one of the city's most iconic and popular lifestyle and shopping destinations, part of the landmark Podomoro City development. The expansion follows Oriental Kopi’s entry into Singapore and represents the group’s next step in growing its regional presence.
According to Oriental Kopi, Indonesia’s large Muslim population represents a meaningful opportunityi as a halal-certified Malaysian café chain. In Indonesia, the JV Company will work towards obtaining the relevant halal certification and ensuring that its ingredients, food preparation processes and supply chain arrangements comply with local requirements
Beyond its café operations, the Group will also explore introducing Oriental Kopi’s fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) products in Indonesia, including instant white coffee, kaya and other Malaysian favourites
Separately, Oriental Kopi has entered into a Territory Franchise Agreement with Coffee Time Ltd (CTL), a Mauritius-based integrated F&B operator, to bring the Oriental Kopi brand to Mauritius.
Listed on the ACE Market of Bursa Securities, Oriental Kopi Holdings Berhad is a fast-growing homegrown café chain. Since opening its first café in 2020, the Group currently operates 34 cafés, comprising 31 in Malaysia and three in Singapore.
