Just ordered a new aux belt tensioner for my Tubby, decided to go for a Gates one, but have just recieved it, and although it came in a Gates box , including an unbroken 'Gates Original' fancy sticker, the tensioner is branded as a Litens. Does anyone know if Gates and Litens are the same company, or have I been sent something a bit dodgy?

I bought a Gates belt a few weeks ago and it deffo had "Gates" in white ink on it. I wouldn't personally bother complaining though.

This is the actual belt tensioner, not a belt though.
