HMD Global is a smartphone and tablet company that surged from Nokia and now has smartphones and tablets. They outsource the manufacture mainly to China and India, but they are now starting to maufacture its 5G models in Europe: https://www.hmd.com/en_ae/press/hmd-begins-manufacturing-5g-smartphones-in-europe

A subsidiary of Foxconn has a pretty big stake in HMD and are also the manufacturer. They're Taiwanese, but that may explain it.
