This is the Chinese manufacturer of the infamous Yongmei and Miles toy keyboards - the undoubtedly worst keyboards of the world (see here and here). Nowadays Yongmei makes beside these horrible yelling squeakboxes even professional MIDI keyboards with LCD and 61 velocity sensitive fullsize keys, but I have not heard any of these highend models yet.
