Nippon Piston Ring (NPR) is another quality ring producer.
Some of the previous posts mention companies that actually get their rings from the biggies like Hastings.
By the way, in my opinion, Mahle is a/the, leading edge producer of very high quality ring designs.

I've purchased (metric) piston rings from Wiseco, but they were always from a Japanese manufacturer. Wiseco makes their own pistons, but I don't believe they make their own rings.

I've also had custom (diesel engine) piston rings manufactured by C. Lee Cook:

I was expecting that there must be at least one Japanese supplier.
Total seal make rings at least for the high performance replacement market. I think they also do a gapless ring
