Rowdy Crowd drinkware has been exclusively designed, developed and manufactured by company owner, Fiona Hamilton, a farmers’ wife who lives on mixed farming property near Cootamundra in south western NSW, Australia.

After a lifetime of paddock picnics, pool parties, BBQ’s, weekends on dam banks water skiing, camping and over seven years owning and running a large furniture and homewares store with access to importers from around the globe, she still could not find any durable, life-proof, elegant plastic drinkware.

So from mid 2014 to late 2015, she set about designing, developing and establishing the manufacturing of Rowdy Crowd; elegant, unbreakable drinkware.

“It was important to me that my product not only looked good, like fine glassware, but met my stringent requirements of being practical, carefree and actually nice to drink from. They also had to be made from the highest grade of food safe material, be 100% dishwasher safe and be 100% environmentally friendly. I am so proud to have developed a product which ticks all these boxes and was the first of its kind in Australia.”

“My small idea has since grown into a busy business, growing by more than 30% year on year for the past 9 years, and now with multiple employees. In 2020 our COVID project was to build a dedicated on-farm Rowdy Crowd warehouse, office and print room complete with state-of-the-art print machinery from Italy.”

Our low cost, high turnover operation allows Rowdy Crowd to offer Australian’s the best quality, lowest priced and fastest supply of Tritan drinkware on the market.  We are also the only Australian drinkware brand to offer customised printing from 100 to 30,000 pieces and a level of fast, personalised service, care and quality assurance that is second to none.

The added benefits locally are that almost daily Rowdy Crowd uses local courier services, prints thousands of cups with the help of local young people and each year puts thousands of dollars of postage through the tiny Illabo Post Office located in the pub! Additionally, our dedication to our own Project Regeneration with local tree and shrub plantings is making a positive and visible impact on the environment.

“I just love that thanks to technology and online possibilities, we can run a traditionally urban based style of business from our farm. Doing so also gives us huge cost advantages in terms of storage and expenses and my work days are spent surrounded by nature, being productive and avoiding the time wasted travelling to town somewhere.”

Rowdy Crowd was founded on a simple belief – the best drinkware should be elegant, practical and life-proof… because Rowdy times shouldn’t be interrupted by broken glass or compromised taste and presentation.

Since introducing premium Tritan™ drinkware to Australia in 2015, we’ve helped customers, venues, event organisers and hospitality operators move away from fragile glass, ugly polycarbonate or acrylic cups and single-use plastics to an elegant, glass-like solution.

Today, Rowdy Crowd’s elegant, unbreakable Tritan™ drinkware is enjoyed during outdoor entertaining, at backyard BBQs, camping trips, hiking adventures, picnics, caravanning holidays, beach days and community events. It is also ideal for poolside and spa areas where traditional glass drinkware is out of the question. 

Proudly Australian designed and owned, Rowdy Crowd products have been enjoyed throughout Australia for many years and now, more recently, in the USA.

On a production level our Chinese-based manufacturing partner operates to the highest standards. We have personally visited the factory in 2018 and 2026 and are always extremely impressed. It is jointly owned by an American company and operates in accordance with American/Australian standards with plenty of holidays and good wages. The factory is light, well ventilated, extremely clean, neat and organised.
