Lesley Lin

CEO of G.L Production

XTRA was founded by my father and grandfather in 1958. From humble beginnings the company really took off in the 1980's to become the brand we all know and love today.

It was my father Geoffery's goal to create an exquisite  collection of products that work for our your lifestyle and look good doing it. XTRA strives to produce innovative, considerate and durable tableware to enjoy in the home, at the office or in the great outdoors.

We go above and beyond your expectations, ensure customer satisfaction and guarantee insulation for all vacuum products for up to a decade... and are so proud to have many awards to prove it!

The Story Behind XTRA

In a world that moves fast, the small moments matter more than ever — a warm coffee on a cold morning, a refreshing drink during a long journey, or a quiet break in the middle of a busy day. XTRA was created to make these moments better.

The idea behind XTRA began with a simple belief: everyday products should be designed with both purpose and care. A vacuum bottle is something people carry with them throughout the day — to work, to the gym, on trips, and during outdoor adventures. Because it becomes part of daily life, it should be reliable, thoughtfully designed, and built to last.

From the beginning, XTRA focused on one mission: creating high-quality stainless steel vacuum bottles that combine durability, functionality, and modern design. Using double-wall vacuum insulation, XTRA bottles help keep drinks hot or cold for hours, so people can enjoy their beverages exactly the way they like them — anytime, anywhere.

But performance alone is not enough. XTRA also believes that good design makes everyday life more enjoyable. That is why every detail matters, from the shape of the bottle to the materials used and the way it fits naturally into modern lifestyles. Whether it’s a morning coffee during a commute, tea at the office, or a hot drink on a winter trip, XTRA is designed to travel with you.

Sustainability is also an important part of the brand philosophy. By encouraging the use of reusable stainless steel bottles, XTRA supports a shift away from disposable drink containers and toward more responsible daily habits.

Today, XTRA continues to grow with a simple goal: to create drinkware that people trust and enjoy using every day. Not just a bottle, but a small companion for life’s everyday moments.
