Shell launches 125th Anniversary Heritage Canisters Collection

“Shell has fuelled Malaysia’s progress, as well as the journeys of countless Malaysians on the road. We have come a long way and the designs of our stations and pumps have followed to suit changing times. We wanted to provide our customers a chance to bring home a small piece of our history through these limited edition collectibles. We hope the designs evoke a sense of nostalgia, and inspire Malaysians to continuously improve for the future,” said Ben Mahmud, Head of Retail Marketing, Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn. Bhd.

The canisters are available in two sizes – mini and big.
