Sorry it has to be "bad" news.
This story has "Chinese Knockoff" written all over it.

Stanwell Pipe Factory Closing

In order to further strengthen and develop Stanwell pipes it has been decided to move the pipe production from the factory in Borup, Denmark, to an external partner.

The future contract manufacturer will be a company with a long history of producing pipes of a quality, which can match the present superior quality of Stanwell.

They will probably go to France to be made.

I have 2 Stanwell pipes I purchased in the 1980's. I love both of them.

I wonder if Erik Nording has his hand in this change?
