Reliability from Taiwan
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!

We have over 60 years' experience in creating and producing vacuum and non-vacuum products. Our innovative technologies and sophisticated designs ensure rich flavour from your teas and coffees that lasts longer.
Every flask is crafted to perfection. It is our goal to optimise your XTRA experience and we strive to improve it just a little more with each new product.
Our manufacturing process is a perfect balance of science and artistry, bringing together reputable vacuum technology with top craftsmanship to guarantee quality across our glass and stainless steel products. Every product is put through a strict testing regime at every stage of its journey.
Whilst our years of experience in flask productions have made us pretty good at what we do, we're always striving for improvement. We keep our minds open, work with our customers and anticipate what the world of tomorrow will need.
We're always listening to what our market needs, from the latest research and trends, aiming to deliver the next 'it' flask- with an XTRA twist.
