NEW PRODUCTS
The ENGINO range started with the 60 models set in late 2006 along with 4 small sets. It soon grew to include a full educational range to cover the subjects of mechanisms, gears, pulleys etc. In 2008 a more complete range was launched called “multi-models series” soon to be upgraded to our new 2009 sets that incorporate a motor in most sets and many more advanced models. The new range is called “engineering series” and includes packages for 5 MODELS up to 80 MODELS covering a wide range of themes such as STRUCTURES, PLAY PARK, SUPER CARS, CRANES, MOBILE CRANES etc.

After 3 years of R&D, in 2009 the wood series became also a reality and the first complete set is the MEGASET which not only includes the engino wood connectors but also pre-cut pieces of wood and several engino standard parts for hybrid modeling.
