No idea. Could be a huge well know company or a 3 man casting shop in the jungle somewhere (with a great contract). Odds are it is the same place that makes most of the badges for all the other manufacturers though. The car "manufacturers" are really car assemblers in this day and age. I worked for one place many years ago that made the HVAC motors for cars. We made them for BMW, Ford, GM, Chrysler and VW. The difference between each motor was what number got rubber stamped onto the case. They were literally identical except for some ink. If I took 20 steps out of my office right now I could make a 180 degree sweep with my head and see rotors being made for Toyota, Ford, Chrysler and GM. Some of them on the same lines that run other makes (with minor tooling changes).
