Kestrel Wind Turbines, South Africa. 600 Watt, 800, Watt, 1,000 and 3000 Watt models. Variable-pitch rotors with axial-flux alternators. Made by Eveready.
Iskra Wind Turbines. 5000 Watt variable-pitch rotor, axial-flux alternators, made in England.
Bornay Wind Turbines, J. Bornay, Spain. 600, 1500, 3000 and 4500 Watts. Top-loaders with radial-flux alternators.
Abundant Renewable Energy. 2.5 and 12 kW machines based on a Hugh Piggot design. Side furlers.
A whole bunch of Chinese stuff, but I leave them up to you! ;-)
Lakota. Nice American Indian name, but made in China. Very high speed rotor!
Selsam Dual-rotor. Interesting, but very space-consuming designs.
Proven Wind Turbines, Scotland. Very robust machines, also very expensive and not extremely productive down-wind design with coning blades.
There are more, but this will probably help.

Kestrel and Bornay have improper power curves which are higher than 35% efficiency. very unlikely. They should do a couple of one-year test first before publishing.
