From the look of the pictures and the specs (5W, 16-channel, 400-470MHz coverage, etc.), I can't help but wonder if it's not some kind of Baofeng BF-888 or BF-666 clone (minus the LED).
It's not uncommon for small companies to have private label variants of the Baofeng, as you all know.

With only around 100 employees, I wonder if they are basically a design agency. The pictures of inside their factory suggests that, whatever hardware they produce, might be hand assembled.

Well that's interesting...
CMII ID 2004FJ0077 Device: FM walkie-talkie Manufactured by Japan KENWOOD CORPORATION (Kenwood)
"A CMIIT ID is the product ID assigned by the China Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to identify wireless products in the Chinese market. The CMIIT assigns product identifiers to approved products which must be labeled with the given approval code. The *FM walkie-talkie*, manufactured by Japan KENWOOD CORPORATION (Kenwood), has an Authorization Number of *CMII ID 2004FJ0077* and was approved on 2004-01-17 (valid until 0000-00-00). "
So I wonder if the CMIIT will be willing to retroactively label some Bond Telecom Baofeng-branded radios that slipped past the FCC's purview on their way through Customs into my home country (U.S.) :@)
Anyway, thanks for that info! "Learn something new everyday."
