What is established and what is not

No researcher review has been written for this company yet. 4 official records from 4 official sources are on file. 5 other entries are not official records: our own technical checks and searches, open directory listings, our inferences or the company's own statements. Everything is listed below with its evidence type: each entry confirms only what it literally says; none of them is a review. Nothing here confirms manufacturing, ownership or trading status beyond what each record literally says.

Facts on file, each with its evidence type

• Website domain registered (record type: domain-registered) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] Shows how long this web address has been registered. That is the age of the domain, not of the company: a domain can change owners. checked 2026-08-08. Domain registry record
• First recorded on the web archive (record type: web-presence-since) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] The web archive holds a page at this address from 1998. Shows a web archive saw a page at this address on that date. It does not show who ran the site then. checked 2026-08-04. Internet Archive (Wayback)

• Legal entity ID lapsed (record type: lei-lapsed) [official record; status amber] The global finance identifier was not renewed. This does not mean the company closed. checked 2026-09-07. GLEIF global LEI register (golden copy)
• EU VAT number valid for cross-border trade (record type: vat-valid) [official record; status green] The number is registered and active: we asked the EU VIES service and it answered yes.

• No match found on the sanctions lists we checked (record type: sanctions-clear) [our own observation, not an official record; name search, no matching candidate] We searched the public sanctions datasets and found no matching candidate.

• No match found in the debarment registers we checked (record type: debarment-clear) [our own observation, not an official record; name search, no matching candidate] We searched the public debarment datasets and found no matching candidate. Absence from these lists is a search result, not a certificate. checked 2026-08-08. OpenSanctions
