According to http://www.mahleincaftermarket.com/
they do list Cofap as one of their "brands" at the bottom of the
opening page, but I could not find any listing for Cofap rings.
The Mahle catalog does not list any rings to fit the 1.6L
engines, only 1.8L and above.

If you go to the Europe site from the above, they have
downloadable catalogs, but no mention of Cofap. The Latin
America site mentions Cofap Rings, so I guess this implies
where they are made.
