Enya

Enya International Instruments Co.
Enya International Musical Instruments Co., Ltd. (Group Headquarters) is responsible for all the group arrangements, company's operations and development plans, including OEM deals. It is also responsible for the Enya, Kaka and Amari brand products global promotion and sale.

Huizhou Jiyi Musical Instruments Co. Ltd. is responsible for all factory production management, quality control, shipping systems and logistics business.

This is the makeup and division of work in the business according to one source of information and it sounds reasonable to me?. The reason I am not more certain is there are a number of places on the web talking about the firm and not all of the information they give is consistent. For example they say they were founded in 2009 and 2011, (on one site it says this in the same section!) by a man called Haiming Hu. This is possible if the two firms started at different times; but nowhere have I seen this suggested. I am sure Jiyi is based in Huiyang, Huizhou, Guangdong, (Enya just Huizhou), and they claim to have a factory that employs over 100 people, (Enya 300), making high end Guitars. Some of the sources are a little dated now so some of this may have been true once but things have moved on? So a few years ago they may have had an office in California but now the US office is definitely in Houston, Texas.

Whatever the business arrangements are, Enya International Instruments Co. produce all scales from mini through to Tenor, (I have never seen a Baritone made by them), in Pineapple and Round Body as well as all of the standard figure 8 body shapes. They do laminate, solid top and full solid wood models plus HPL plastic and a type of carbon fibre.

In addition to Enya branded Ukuleles and Guitars, Enya International Instruments Co. own and distribute some other brands Century, O.M.S. and Kaka, (often with a big K or Ka on the headstock), are the 3 I know but there may be more I haven't come across? They are also the company that have the official licence for and make Minions Ukuleles. There is a fair amount of crossover between the brands, for example I have seen the same Kaka pony design on some Enya models and I have seen Tenors with the Kaka K on the headstock and Enya inlaid as 12th fret marker.
