Help identify this bumper

Do you know the brand /manufacturer of this bumper? It looks like an ARB, but it costs (here)half the price of an ARBSahara Bar.

Try this. I just searched and know nothing about them. Ask the Kiwis.

Thanks!
I've found that they are sold in Spain by "Golden Winch", which is a chinese manufacturer. They also have cheap winches (obviously) as well as other equipment.
www.goldenwinch.es
www.goldenwinch.com

Surely they are not the same quality as an ARB, but the price is tempting... 510 € while an ARB Sahara Bar lists for at least 1300 €. And the TJM T3 is around 1200.
I can have a 5mm steel bumper (510 €) and a 10000 lb winch (360€) plus a double battery setup (300 €) for much less than the price of a Warn 9500 alone (1400 €).

Some well-known winch brands are producing parts in other countries. i. e. Wongs manufacturers accessories for Warn, milemarker... It has factories in China and brail.
It makes synthetic winch rope, winch line extension. snatch block etc.
Warn buys motors from Brail for years...

Looks like a Chinese company knocking off name brand products. Some of their winches looks a LOT like Warn winches.

i went to their .com website and first picture I clicked on (the humvee) put me to a gallery and on the first page was a chinese dpv type vehicle. Any company that has a picture of a chinese army vehicle and then a whole bunch of stock photos of humvee's is up to no good. I'd pass.
