Jin has said that these others are agents for his products.

I believe Cison is a separate outfit but not certain.

Possibly engines all from the same source (Jin) and perhaps he's recruited helpers or he's selling from multiple accounts(?).

Looks like they just might have a few of their "What our customer really say" photos & names mixed a bit on that webpage?!?!

Don't know if that is a good guess or not, but certainly they all seem to share many of the same engines, if not all the same DNA!

Maybe I don't look up often enough, but there appears to be a new kid on the block.  In addition to Jin's 'Microcosm' and 'Okmomodel', and the 'Enginediy' and 'Stirlingkit' sites, my inbox had a visit from 'Enginekitor'. 


Jin's two sites are paired.

The other three appear to be using the same website software.  They all are in Shenzhen, China, in the 518000 district. Same business in the same building with three doors?  Is that a good guess?
