It works like this...
Bosch makes brake pads
Bosch sells brake pads to wholsale distributors
Both NAPA and Autozone buy the Bosch brakepads
Bosch brakepads are reboxed into "DURALAST" and "NAPA" boxes
If you go to autozone, you are buying duralast brakes, but they're technically BOSCH. Someone may even tell you that the brand "duralast" is a P.O.S. brand, and sell you NAPA instead, when they are actually the same part... in a different box. Duralast doesn't actually make any parts to my knowledge...
ACDelco is another branded thing that reboxes it's stuff like Napa, O Reillys, Autozone, everybody really. So if I call H & H and call the Chevy dealer and order OE brake pads I will get the same exact thing, probably a little cheaper from H & H and they are both technically Brembo and technically ACDelco, because Brembo says them the right to rebox
TLDR; Everything is reboxed by distributors from the original OE Manufacturer.
