About Cord Commander

It started because of a “moment” I had while packing several of my charger cords (in a baggy) for an upcoming business trip. I decided I needed a better way to organize my charger cords. As I looked around, I and realized my living space was increasingly cluttered with charger cords. That was the beginning of my what-if inspiration? Design criteria... I started by defining two basic features my cord organizer must have - universal compatibility for chargers of varied sizes/shapes and no wire “bundle” dangling from the charger. A simple idea... With an inspiration, I modified some household plastics for my mock-ups and one particular design proved to meet both design objectives. Taking the next step... I contacted a former roommate (an Industrial Designer by trade) who created the CAD files to make actual prototypes. With prototypes in hand, evaluations proved it worked with a variety of chargers. At a family gathering, I showed a relative who liked the product and said it needed a catchy name. With some deliberation, “Cord Commander” was coined. Putting the pieces together... Now, I needed a manufacturer. My goal - make the Cord Commander in America. This was more challenging than anticipated because the majority of U.S. plastic’s manufacturers are built in China. After a year and a half of “set-backs,” I found a great toolmaker and production house. It was quite a learning experience. I am proud to say our product is 100% American made and that includes our packaging. Read their story
