Ricmas Borneo Sdn Bhd

What Ricmas Borneo Sdn Bhd does

Ricmas Borneo Sdn Bhd is a Malaysian private limited company (Sdn Bhd) headquartered in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, that operates as an authorized distributor of premium coffee machines, espresso equipment, water filtration systems, and beverage consumables. Founded in 2012, the company distributes internationally recognized brands including Thermoplan (Black & White), Jura, Breville, Nuova Simonelli, Victoria Arduino, Lelit, Jetinno, WMF, 3M/Aqua-Pure, MONIN, DR Coffee, BUNN, CREM, Rocket, and La Marzocco. The product portfolio spans fully automatic coffee machines, semi-automatic and commercial espresso machines, coffee grinders, water filtration systems, coffee beans, tea, and flavoring syrups. Customers are served through an e-commerce storefront at ricmas.com.my using a quote-based pricing model, alongside direct sales for commercial accounts; the company targets both household consumers and commercial establishments such as cafes, restaurants, hotels, offices, and convenience stores. The sales motion is hybrid B2B and B2C, supported by organic social channels on Facebook and Instagram.

The business model is straightforward transactional hardware and consumable distribution with no recurring service or subscription revenue streams visible. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers request quotes via the website or through direct contact. Distribution channels are split between an own-storefront e-commerce site (serving SMB and individual consumers) and field-based direct sales (serving enterprise and commercial buyers). Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales and ongoing consumable purchases (beans, syrups, filters). The company employs 13 people and operates exclusively within Sabah, East Malaysia, with no disclosed revenue, funding, parent company, or institutional ownership signals. The underlying technology is third-party manufactured equipment rather than proprietary technology; Ricmas Borneo's value proposition rests on brand portfolio breadth, regional distribution rights, and after-sales service capability rather than on in-house technology development.
