About Us

Our Story

Founded by Chris Bagnall, Stage FX was born from a passion for engineering, innovation, and creating unforgettable event experiences.

After completing a Degree in Engineering and spending decades working in electronics, stage and events industry, Chris identified a gap in the Australian market for affordable, high-quality special effects equipment and consumables. Event professionals often faced limited choice, high costs, and inconsistent support, creating an opportunity to do things differently.

Drawing on real-world industry experience, Chris set out to develop and supply products that met the demands of professional events while remaining accessible and affordable. What began as a vision to improve access to reliable special effects solutions has grown into Stage FX — a trusted supplier of special effects equipment, consumables, hire services and technical support across Australia.

At Stage FX, our philosophy is simple: reliable equipment shouldn’t cost a fortune. We stand behind every product we sell because it’s our product. If an issue arises, you’re dealing directly with the people who designed and supplied it, ensuring fast, knowledgeable support and complete accountability. We also offer hire equipment at an affordable price.

Today, Stage FX proudly celebrates 18 years of delivering innovative special effects equipment & supplies. Our dedicated team supports event professionals, venues, schools, production companies, and organisations across the country, helping create unforgettable experiences and events that truly stand out.
