I believe the German motor manufacturer was Weco.

One more thing. Bill told me several times what an impediment shipping costs were to bringing in the Chinese motors. Even a huge shipment of motors took up just a tiny fraction of a standard shipping container. It wasn't possible to share a container with non-rocketry items and the fireworks folks were so huge they had no need to share containers. So Quest had to pay for a whole container even though using just a small part of it. I can't recall what percentage of the actual cost of bringing in a pack of motors was due to shipping but I know it was huge.
