I'm late into this discussion as well as I could not recall the specific brand. It's Anco!

Found the Bosch blades tend to slightly disintegrate at the edge after one season of use even in mild weather. The local reputable Landrover specialist suggested using Anco brand. It's the only brand they will install in vehicles serviced there. They've proved to have superior wear characteristics to the Bosch premium blades I had been using at that point.

So, don't knock it just because it is an American brand. They simply make a better product IMHO.
