About Royal Selangor
Royal Selangor traces its origin to 1885, when Yong Koon arrived in Kuala Lumpur from Shantou and worked with his brothers as a tinsmith. The family business later became Selangor Pewter and was renamed Royal Selangor in 1992 after receiving the royal pewterer warrant in 1979.
The company describes its activities as including pewter design and manufacture, retail, corporate gifts and bespoke trophies. Its product and gifting offer includes home, dining, collectibles and corporate-gift categories.
Royal Selangor is headquartered at its Setapak Visitor Centre in Kuala Lumpur. The Visitor Centre presents exhibits on pewter and Malaysian tin history, craft workshops and retail; the site also identifies Selberan and Comyns as sister brands.
