Royal Selangor
Royal Selangor is a Malaysia pewter manufacturer and retailer, the largest of its type in the world.
==History==
Founded in 1885 by Yong Koon (), his little shop called Ngeok Foh (Jade Peace), handcrafted pewter objects mainly for ceremonial use - such as joss sticks holders, incense burners and candle holders for altars of Chinese homes and temples. The pewter objects sold by Yong Koon were polished with "stone leaf" (''tetracera scandens''), a wild tropical leaf of a fine, abrasive nature. With the arrival of British colonials, the offering expanded to include tankards, ashtrays and tea services. The brand was then known as Selangor Pewter.
In the 1970s, the company started exporting, first to Singapore and Hong Kong and then to Australia. Towards the 1980s, the market expanded into Europe and later into Japan.
In 1992, the company changed its name to Royal Selangor to reflect its royal endorsement from His Royal Highness the late Sultan of Selangor at that time, Almarhum Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Al-Haj, and to reflect its product range, which has extended beyond pewter.
