About us

KiwiStar Optics crafts the precision optics that are unlocking the universe at leading observatories.

We’ve been helping astronomers to capture and split starlight for over 50 years. We’ve made some of the planet’s biggest lenses for its best telescopes.

Our reputation as a global leader in precision optics is built on consistent excellence and innovation. Our scientists, engineers and master opticians draw on decades of experience and a love of what they do.
