It could be SEAT. That's a car company, not a piece of furniture. When I was
living in the UK I owned a SEAT whose components resembled the cast of a WW2
movie. The car was designed by Fiat, body by Volkswagen, engine designed by
Porsche, tires by Firestone, electronics from Japan. The engine was a 980 cc
buzz
box to qualify for the under 1 liter UK tax and licensing advantages. We got
110,000 miles out of it. The SEAT was still going strong when we sold it to
our neighbor's son.
I suspect than many modern boats are made the same way.
