Kupo #1054

Kupo (KUPO CO., LTD.) is a Taiwanese manufacturer of equipment for the lighting and film industry: it produces light stands, grip equipment and rigging accessories, supports and clamps, as well as dichroic filters and equipment for concert and theatrical lighting. It is one of the world's leading suppliers of stands and grip accessories for the rental industry, TV/film, and photo and video production.

The company was founded in 1979 in Taiwan, emerging from the traditional stage lighting industry. Over the decades, Kupo grew into one of the leading manufacturers of light stands, supports, and rigging accessories for the concert, theatrical, and film/TV industries. In 2000 the Kupo Grip sub-brand was created, specializing in grip equipment for filmmakers, videographers, and photographers. Manufacturing, originally based in Taipei, was relocated to mainland China — to Dongguan (2002), then Wuxi (2006) — and a factory in Taizhou began operating in late 2014.
