Rextron [1] is the actual ODM. They don't do any direct to consumer sales, though. That's why L1 / Startech / other "brands" sell them on amazon and the like.
Last I spoke with the L1 guy, they were still having some issues with the high speed USB-C switching chips on the 1x4 "all USB-C" model that he's got a wait-list for.
