The Chinese for various reasons started selling cheap engines (flooded the market is more like it) in the USA, Europe and the rest of the world and that put a lot of pressure on the other model engine companies. A USA company cannot compete pricewise with the Chinese for numerous reasons. Fox Manufacturing, JETT Engineering and MECOA are about it for USA glow engine companies. Cox Engines is now in Canada but they still make engines too. Fox and MECOA both have other business deals and contracts to make machined parts for other purposes and model engines is a sideline for the most part now. But as to other engine companies, even Europe was hit pretty hard too, HB, HP, and Webra gave up. MVVS is probably real close as they quit making glow engines too. SuperTigre moved their entire model engine factory to China years ago. Even OS engines in Japan has started making some of their lower cost engines in China too.
