DESIGN × ENGINEERING × CRAFTSMANSHIP

We Learned How to Make Things.
Then We Learned How to Make Them Better.

For decades, manufacturing has been at the heart of XTRA, But experience taught us that making a product is only the beginning.

By bringing design, engineering and craftsmanship together, we continue to rethink the everyday objects people use.

Made with experience. Designed with purpose.

PEOPLE BEHIND XTRA

More Than a Company

A Story Passed Forward

XTRA began as a family business in Taiwan in 1958.

Across generations, one thing has remained unchanged — a belief in making everyday products with care, purpose and responsibility.

Today, that spirit continues to guide XTRA as we bring together decades of manufacturing experience with a new generation of design and ideas.

“What we carry forward is not only a business, but a belief in making everyday things better.”

Lesley Lin

CEO, G.L. Productions

Over the years, XTRA products have been recognized by design organizations around the world — reflecting our continued commitment to thoughtful design, engineering and everyday usability.
