Han for China, and De for Germany. HandeVision appears to be a 
collaboration between the German firm IB/E Optics and the Chinese firm 
Kipon...
A quick check reveals that the brand is owned by the large German mail 
oder/online store Walser (see http://www.walser.de/brands/). IB/E may be 
behind the design (hence IBERIT), and Kipon may do the production. 
Walser are the biggest German seller of re-branded ("Walimex") Chinese 
imports - even if this new line should be a cut above their regular 
line-up, they'll probably target a affordable price. Their stuff often 
is good, for the price, but not supposed to be the best that money can 
buy...
