About Imbasjaya
A family-run wholesale food business serving Sabah since 1985.
Four decades of feeding Sabah
Imbasjaya Sdn Bhd was founded in 1985 by Mr Khor Kowi Kim in Kota Kinabalu. What began as a small trading business importing onions and garlic has grown into one of Sabah's largest wholesale food suppliers, with a 30,000 square foot air-conditioned warehouse in Kolombong and a retail supermarket across the road.
Today the company handles importing, exporting, repacking, wholesaling and retailing of fresh produce, groceries, herbs and spices, dried food, rice, noodles and cooking ingredients. Our KKK brand is a familiar sight on shelves across the state.
We supply supermarkets, sundry shops, hotels, restaurants and caterers throughout Sabah, and ship selected products to customers in Peninsular Malaysia and overseas.
Five services under one roof
Importing
Container quantities of onions, garlic, ginger, carrots, potatoes, rice and dry goods from growers and mills in the region.

Repacking

Retailing
FoodTown supermarket, opened in 2015 opposite the warehouse, brings the same range to households at wholesale-friendly prices.

Onions and garlic keep best when they stay cool and dry. Our Kolombong warehouse is fully air-conditioned across more than 30,000 square feet, with pallet racking, forklifts and dedicated loading bays so goods move quickly from container to lorry.
