“Joy can be designed.”
— The KERNEE BeliefIn a world of digital distractions, real human connection is rare.
At KERNEE, we believe joy can be designed. We don’t just make appliances — we engineer shared experiences that spark laughter, curiosity, and memory-making.
From a family movie night to a solo entrepreneur’s first street-side sale, KERNEE turns ordinary gatherings into celebrations worth remembering.
- Taste made by hand is the most memorableEvery machine invites people to make something together.
- Joy multiplies when it is sharedPassing the first scoop to a friend is where the party begins.
- The best memories are never plannedThey happen while we are busy making a mess, together.
Four Scenes. One Purpose.
While others make kitchen tools for utility, we obsess over what others ignore — will it run quietly during a child’s birthday? Can it fit in a backpack for a mountain campsite? Does it look “Instagrammable” at a weekend market stall?

Two Obsessions, One Shared Belief
Twenty years of manufacturing craft meets a decade of product leadership — together they built KERNEE on a simple question: “What if a machine did not just make food, but brought people together?”
Jimmy joins DONLIN Group as a product development engineer — and never leaves the lab.
Jimmy founds Sinsion, focused on the two pillars of every party: hot popcorn & cold shaved ice.
Trusted by Nostalgia & BRITANIA — 3M+ units a year across 10+ countries. The invisible engine.
KERNEE is born: 20 years of craft, turned into a brand that defines the party appliance category.
Jimmy
In an industry chasing “bigger and newer”, Jimmy chose a quieter path — perfecting two machines to the extreme: popcorn makers and shaved ice machines. In 2000 he joined DONLIN Group; in 2006 he founded Sinsion, building an industry-rare dual-category vertical manufacturing system with a corn-matching database, hot-air flow simulation, and 72-hour aging tests.
His team became the trusted engine behind Nostalgia (3M+ units a year) and BRITANIA (10+ countries) — partners who trusted them for 15 years, not because of price, but because nothing goes wrong.

Angela
Angela led product teams at a global appliance company for over a decade. But after becoming a mother, she noticed something missing: “We made cooking faster… but did we make gatherings more meaningful?” Friends scrolled phones at dinner; kids were bored at birthday parties.
So she asked one simple question: “What if a machine did not just make food, but brought people together?” That question became KERNEE — four beliefs, one product line: taste made by hand, joy multiplied by sharing, hearts closer when working side by side.
