I was checking parts & prices and NAPA had parts listed made by Altrom (an importer) and description said they were Mitsubishi brand. I did some searching and it seems like it is true. Anybody hear of Altrom importers before? This link has a NAPA employee commenting on it and other sites believe they are Mits

What parts are you referring to? Nowadays there are so many companies making parts you never know what you're getting. I recently bought a part for one of my toyotas from amazon. It was advertised (in the pic) as aisin. The oe japanese manufacturer of the part. The box I got had beck arnley / made in china on it. I then opened it up to find a white plastic tube stamped koyo on it. With this sticker below and koyo stamped on the part. So i went from pissed to happy in a matter of seconds. Turns out the bearing portion of the part is originally made by koyo and the electronic part by aisin. This one I got was made by koyo (bearing part) and the electronic part by denso! wtf.
