Ninco is a Spanish manufacturer of an author course system on a scale 1:32. The founders were called Eduard Nin and Eladio Cosculluela (died 2001). Of the first syllables of the surnames the company name consists.

The company is resident and produced in Barcelona since 1993 vehicles for author courses - Slotcars so mentioned - on a scale 1:32. These vehicles gained fast a foothold in the market and gladly on Carrera and Scalextric plants were operated. In the year 1998 ascended Ninco to the system offerer, by offering its own rail system and further necessary accessories beside the vehicles also such as automatic controllers and power packs.

The first Ninco Slotcars was Rallye vehicles, in the meantime the pallet also on racing cars of the DTM, formula 1, CARTS and others expanded. The inclination to the Rallye sport becomes however still apparent in the model pallet. Thus 2003 by Ninco also Slotcars with a so-called Schwingarm were offered for the first time (the Schwingarm was almost in the 1960ern and 1970ern with Slotcars standard, is in the modern constructions however to hardly still find), which makes the over driving of small obstacles possible. Also Ninco offers as only Slotcar manufacturers turning loops.

By a rather reserved model pallet, a complete offer of the rail system and constant quality of the products Ninco could gain a foothold also in countries with traditionally different author course systems (like Carrera in Germany, Scalextric in the Great Britain/USA). This, and not least also the general Slotcar boom into the 1990ern years is to be owed to the circumstance that the vehicles of different manufacturers with all today available rail systems are compatible.

On the play goods fair 2005 the digital system was announced ANALOGIC & DIGITAL by to NINCO, which permits a driving of up to six vehicles on two traces. The system will be available in the summer 2006. Contrary to the systems of other manufacturers a re-equipment of existing courses and vehicles (also different manufacturer) is problem-free possible.
