XTAR Brand
XTAR brand came into conception and determined to make high quality chargers, flashlights and batteries.
As XTAR’s story progresses, our commitment to quality and innovation has been fundamental to our journey, guiding us to become a leading brand in the industry.
Brand Story
XTAR’s story begins in 2006. At the time, we were essentially a small trading company negotiating a market that customers are hard to find good quality products. Our thorough checks indicated that only 60% of the incoming materials matched our exacting criteria. To ensure high quality, we still conduct full inspections, even if it meant sacrificing profits and potentially losing some consumers. Finally, we improved our product pass rate to an amazing 99.7%. To help customers easily recognize us and enjoy our high-quality products and services, XTAR brand was born.
In 2009, a distributor asked us to make a high-brightness searching dive light with 2000 lumens, powered by six 18650 batteries. However, we faced another big problem. There were no chargers in the market that could manage such a high load. To overcome this obstacle, we decided to establish our R&D team. Through countless days and nights of tireless effort, we finally introduced the D30 dive light and the WP6 charger, marking the beginning of our journey towards innovation.
With our own team, XTAR introduced the groundbreaking side-slide switch operation for dive lights and revolutionary technologies like three-stage charging, battery recovery, and adjustable charging currents. These innovations were widely recognized and accepted in the market.
In the next 5 years, technology demands grew and product manufacturing became more difficult, to ensure better quality, XTAR took the decisive step of establishing our own factory in 2014. Embodying pragmatism and reliability, our team crafted products that set benchmarks for safety and dependability. This persistence has been recognized. Since 2016, XTAR has been certified as a national high-tech enterprise three times, holding nearly 200 patents.
Today, XTAR has become one of the top brands in the industry. When people talk about XTAR, they always think of quality and innovation. This success is a culmination of our 18 years of dedication, accumulation, and unwavering commitment to quality and innovation. Like the relentless waves of the sea, we’ve weathered challenges and emerged stronger, firmly positioned at the forefront of our industry. Moving forward, we will continue to focus on our core values, promising our customers more exceptional products and services, and continuing to create a brighter future.
