They are a thing. Many manufacturers outsource some of their production to poorer countries, these factories end up starting up their own brand and produce their own vehicles alongside those of the main manufacturer (who supplies components from engines to dashboard switchgear). For example, Dacia is a knock off Renault.

Dacia is owned by Renault. And the cars they built before Renault bought them were licensed.
