What CommandeX does

CommandeX Pty Ltd is an Australian privately held manufacturer and wholesale supplier of premium security screen doors, window screens, and privacy solutions, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Miranda, New South Wales. The company's portfolio spans six core product lines — SecureView 316 (woven stainless steel mesh), SaltWaterSeries (extreme-coastal variant), Xceed (perforated aluminium), BasiX (entry-level safety mesh), Xcell (aluminium slat privacy screens and gates), and specialty products including Kids Fallsafe, Fire & Emergency Escape, and Bushfire Screens — all custom manufactured to Australian Standards AS5039-2023, with the patented Keyway Fixing System (a two-part wedge bonded with 3M VHB aerospace adhesive) as the core technical differentiator. The company also supplies maintenance consumables (CommandeX Clean, CommandeX Protect) and, via its Buy A Length subsidiary, cut-to-length aluminium extrusions for trade and DIY customers.

The business operates a B2B2C wholesale model, supplying 200+ licensed dealers across Australian capital cities and the Eastern Seaboard from Cairns to Cranbourne; dealers custom-fabricate, sell, and install screens to AS5039.2:2024 installation standards, with end prices typically $1,300-$1,500 for a standard security door. The broader CommandeX Group includes wholly-owned subsidiary Rockford (wholesale manufacturing with 10-day turnaround), 13 BuyRite Hardware trade showrooms across QLD/NSW/ACT, and Buy A Length online extrusions, forming a vertically integrated trade support ecosystem unmatched by other Australian security screen brands. The end customer base is primarily residential homeowners, augmented by a developing architects/specifiers channel for commercial and NCC 2025-compliant projects. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is Australian-owned, private, and has no external funding rounds on record.
