So the brand is etrailer brand, but I believe you are likely asking the manufacturer, which is AxleTek for the 7K hub and drum you asked about:

- Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 7,000-lb Axles - 12" Diameter - 8 on 6-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-865-7-1-K

The # AKHD-865-7-1-K comes pre-greased and includes the bearings, races, and grease seal so you're all set with this hub and drum combo.
