I used to work for a friction material company. We serviced a lot of aftermarket brands - it wasn't uncommon for a production run of a particular item to be packaged in half-a-dozen different suppliers' boxes. We were even supplying other companies who were supposed to be our deadly rivals, & vice versa - that enabled both parties to cover more of the market without needing to tool up for references with very low sales.
In this day and age, you really do not know who made the part. Most parts are now made out of the Country, and then packaged under various Brands. Whether it is NAPA, Auto zone, Shucks, or Isuzu. The only difference is the packaging. I know. At one time I worked for a Company that made a product for Sears, Wards, a couple of local retailers, and their own Brand. It all came out of the same tub.
