No idea where you took this statement from, but here is the point:
Masterwork is an OEM company just as Diril (which co-designed under others Meinl Byzance, do Byzances have to be bad because of it now? no) and other companies based in Turkey, most of them being the "split" of Istanbul.There is no reason or valid point to justify having so many different "trade names" for the same "cymbal" and here is why:
If you have a company and you let it expand worldwide (or in different regions), you will maintain the initial company name to provide already a solid and built trust to your new market. This will facilitate the market entry, marketing and therefore sales.
We all know Soultone, TRX, etc. are owned by different owners and through the years have developed their on Quality Controls, series, artists and reputation. Especially that these two are American companies.
They might very well share a couple of manufacturers here and there, but at that point is really worthless to take in mind, it basically means nothing.
