Golden era

Royal Selangor Singapore celebrates 50 years in the city state, renewing bonds and feting friends and employees.

SINGAPORE (June 17): Melding tradition and evolution in pewter is an ongoing process at 134-year-old Royal Selangor, a name synonymous with craftsmanship. The Malaysian company ventured across the Causeway in 1968 and was producing pewterware in Paya Lebar until the early 1990s, when the strong Singapore dollar forced it to close the factory.

But the brand has continued to serve customers there through dealers and showrooms, bringing them creative products shaped by changing lifestyles and tastes. On April 25, representatives from that solid network, business partners, friends and the media gathered to celebrate Royal Selangor Singapore’s golden jubilee at Shangri-La Hotel in the city state.
