What brand of SSDs does Apple put into its Macbook Pros?

I was wondering what kind of SSDs Apple puts into its Macbook Pros when you select that option for a build-to-order Macbook Pro. Is it Intel, or perhaps Kingston SSDs, or perhaps some other brand?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.3), Wireless Aluminum Keyboard

As a point of clarification, what do you mean by "re-branded" SSDs?

OWC does not manufacture anything. Whatever they sell is bought from a supplier and branded with there logo/label.

This goes for the RAM and SSDs they sell.
