In 1885 Yong Koon founded a small tin workshop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He was an immigrant from China and had learned the tin craft from his father. 140 years later, Royal Selangor is the world's largest producer of hand-cast pewter.

Royal recommendation
Royal Selangor has received royal recognition and supplies to international royal houses.
The Next Generation
The company is today led by the fourth generation of the Yong family, with the same passion for craftsmanship.
From craft to world-brand
What started as simple objects of use — teapots, plates and candlesticks — developed into art. Today, Royal Selangor produces everything from Star Wars figurines to FIFA trophies, all hand-cast in 97% pure pewter.
Why Malaysia?
Malaysia is the world's largest producer of tin. The country has rich deposits of tin, and the craft has been part of the culture for hundreds of years. Royal Selangor's factory in Kuala Lumpur is also a museum — the Visitor Center receives over 100,000 visitors annually.
From a small workshop in Kuala Lumpur to 26 countries — some things get better with time, and pewter is one of them.
