Pantum is a brand of Ninestar, a group of companies that pretty much make every major component across the entire value chain of laser printers.
They bought Lexmark in 2016 (which is why some Pantum printers look like Lexmark printers).
The company has origins in manufacturing third-party replacement ICs for building compatible consumables and as such has extensive experience reverse engineering many printer designs.
Many compatible printing consumables outlets carry Pantum brand printers, as they are essentially buying them through the same channels they buy their compatible consumables.
Pantum has a program for identifying genuine Pantum consumables as well, as any respectable printer manufacturer would ;-)
It's a fun little sticker with some tricks up its sleeve: https://global.pantum.com/support/identification/
