About Us

Highland Glen Manufacturing, Inc. was established in a basement in Toronto, Ontario Canada in 1967 as International Key Fob Limited.  The word "Fob" comes from the term "Watch Fob" that is derived from an old term used in Great Britain at the turn of the century describing a pocket watch with a chain that hung across a gentleman's waistcoat.  

In five short years, the company moved from it's Toronto basement to a 2,000 square foot storage facility in Buffalo, New York in 1972.  By 1975, the company moved to a 10,000 square foot facility in Buffalo and changed it's name to Key Ring Supplies, Inc.

With starting to manufacture other products by the early nineties, the name of the company was limiting, as they then sold more than just key rings.  In 1993 it changed it's name from Key Ring Supplies, Inc. to Highland Glen Manufacturing, Inc.  The owner, being of Scottish descent, chose this name as a symbol of his homeland.  Glen is derived from the ancient Scottish Gaelic term "Gleann" which means a small secluded valley, and a Highland Glen is one such small valley with flowing green grass surrounded by the hills (or the Highland's) of Scotland.

When the company started in 67', the owner and his wife were the sole manufacturer's, distributor's  and sellers of their products.  Supplying small key shops and independent stores throughout Southern Ontario with quality novelty key rings.
