Hello
Robert and Hanna Thomas are the proud owners of Xtra Hold Aluminum Foil, a certified minority-owned business based in Detroit, MI. Both Robert and Hanna come from a long line of cooks, chefs, and caterers in their families, which naturally led them to enter the catering industry as well. Throughout their experience in the catering industry, they have learned that aluminum foil is an essential tool, and clients often ask if they have extra on hand.
Understanding that not all aluminum foil is created equal, Robert and Hanna were inspired to create a product that would work well and not break the bank. They created Xtra Hold with the customer in mind, providing high-quality, durable aluminum foil that meets their clients' needs. Their passion for providing a top-quality product stem from their experience in the catering industry and their desire to ensure that their customers have the best possible experience when using their aluminum foil.

Our Story
Robert and Hanna met in 1997 at Kid's Footlocker in Detroit, MI, when they were both teenagers. Despite not knowing why or how, Hanna had a feeling that Robert was going to be her future husband from the moment she saw him. A few years later, they got married and started a family together, and now they are a family of four.
Growing up in Detroit, Robert and Hanna have witnessed numerous negative events in their community, including the loss of jobs, housing, schools, mental health hospitals, recreation centers, neighborhoods, and most importantly, hope. They have noticed that African Americans in their city lead the nation in poverty, unemployment, incarceration, recidivism, and the least amount of entrepreneurs. In an effort to bring hope back to their community, Robert and Hanna have founded Xtra Hold.
Xtra Hold aims to create 500 manufacturing/warehouse jobs in Detroit by importing machines from overseas to produce aluminum foil products locally. Their mission is to provide employment opportunities to individuals who are often overlooked or dismissed by society, including those who don't fit in with the crowd. Robert and Hanna hope that their efforts will bring a positive change to their community and help those who have been forgotten.
