Found this video on my recommended.

At 11:52 clearly says it is the English Chess Company, video is form 2016, back at that time this was Official Staunton brand name.

I liked the video and wanted to share, because people have some weird ideas on how the chess shops look in India, they somehow think there is not hand carving and it is all machines and lines of monkeys...

So I hope this video helps to bring insight on a real chess sets factory:

Fascinating video.  I'm working on a couple wooden folding chess boards with storage for pieces inside now, no way would I try to tackle hand carving the pieces yet though.
