Brake pads

[bongo]

Trivial question really. I've rear brake pads I've just replaced but curious about origins. V brake. The only markings are APSE and TUV. It seems the TUV is a standard certification? But the APSE I can't find anywhere having done the usual searches. Is this a brand name? Are they ancient? No longer manufactured? or is the lettering something else?

Thanks

Is it the Taiwanese company APSE?

I did see that but the site wouldn't load so couldn't check it out. Various name changes etc. Awful site. But thanks.
