FIELD-READY OPTICAL HARDWARE

Explore Kudzu Co. — Precision components for defense, aerospace, and advanced imaging systems.

Designed and built in Huntsville, Alabama.

Built for Optics. Built for the Field.

Every Kudzu Co. part is engineered to solve real problems, delivering clearer imagery, improved stability, and faster integration.

Rugged, precise, and tested like real gear — not camera accessories, not lab equipment.

  • We use materials chosen for optical performance, mechanical stability, and environmental durability. Most components are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with proper surface treatments for corrosion resistance and sealing. Windows, optics, and hardware are selected for clarity, flatness, thermal stability, and field survivability — not consumer-grade glass or off-the-shelf plastics. Everything is built for real-world conditions: heat, cold, dust, rain, vibration.

  • All orders ship from Huntsville, Alabama, with fast turnaround on in-stock items. We offer standard and expedited shipping at checkout. If your project has a hard deadline or operational window, reach out — we can often prioritize builds or coordinate delivery to meet field schedules.

  • Need a different window, coating, mounting pattern, or interface? We offer customization on most products, including:

    • Alternate optical materials

    • Coating options

    • Special sizes

    • Custom thicknesses or finishes

    For larger programs or one-off engineering needs, we also support purpose-built designs based on your sensor, environment, or integration requirements.

About
Kudzu Co.

Blurred image of sunlight with lens flare effects creating large bright spots and circular artifacts.

Kudzu Co. designs and builds rugged optical hardware with a straightforward goal - to make what’s useful right now. We focus on creating tools that help people do their work reliably in challenging environments.

Our products include commercial off-the-shelf optical components and custom solutions, developed with practical, durable engineering. Each design starts with a real need, like enabling sensors systems in any environment or improving usability in the field, and is built to work dependably without unnecessary complexity.

We approach our work with a builder’s mindset: hands-on, thoughtful, and focused on function. Everything we make is meant to earn its place in the field through reliability and purpose.
