The bearings included with hub # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K are made by TRP International. They make a lot of trailer and RV parts including hubs and brakes as well. They are members of several RVing and trailering organizations including NATDA, NATM, RVIA, and FEMA (Farm Equipment Manufacturing Association; not to be confused with the Federal Emergency Management Agency).
