eyelead claims the product to be "made in Germany" http://www.eyelead.eu/fotoreinigung.html

 

Perhaps the sticker   :-)  .  

Anyway, no, I don't want to put the company down, and wish them all the best. But based on the looks of the web site (.eu address, gmail email), and whois entries for the web site, web not updated since 2012. Their shop is an amazon.de seller, which anybody can set up.  it looks like a very small outfit that probably mostly rebrands. The 48 LED ring light can be found on ebay also sold by others.  This clearly looks like a Chinese product the people can buy in bulk with their own sticker.

As to the cleaning pad, the case in which it is shipped is identical to the case of a promotional laser pointer I got once. That doesn't mean much, but it points to the fact that the items are bought from other sources like China (at least the case).

Maybe it's assembled from inexpensive parts on someone's kitchen table.  However, if the product works, nothing wrong with it. I suspect that the blue sticky rubber is a commercial product that you can buy somewhere in bulk. Or perhaps they pour it themselves into something like ice cube trays (hence the rounded shape, it's seems not really meant for sensor cleaning) and stick the handle into the jelly as it solidifies. Such sticky rubber is used in a number of different ways.  One way to clean it is actually using mild soapy water (the green dishwasher detergent from the supermarket). 

 

 

Just to give an example of rebranding:  Samyang lenses, sold under gazillion names, but such good products that their name is now well known, and wouldn't need selling through rebranding anymore.
