European rudder bearing manufacturers

A simple question really, but googling doesn't help much. Or I suck at it, which I'm not excluding :/

Apart from Jeffa, what other european rudder bearing & pintle manufacturers are there? For M/Y of 20-40m approximately (just so we skip VETUS and merchant shipping)

On bigger boats the rudder bearing are many times custom built. A rudder bearing is a simple construction. We recently used vesconite bearing stock for a 25 meter..
