Does Anybody Recognize The Manufacturer?

I had this disposable 35mm camera given to me the other day, after I removed the exposed film for them. But, nowhere on the camera does it list who the manufacturer is or what brand of film was used inside. Does anybody recognize who makes this particular camera?

I have an interest in Single use cameras. Your's is, I think, a Fuji Quicksnap BODY, but I have found that Chinese manufacturers reused /recycled single use camera bodies by fitting in a fresh battery, reloading with film and then resealing them with black sticky tape. These were then given a cardboard sleeve. SO, what you have could be either be an OEM unit or it could be recycled. Fully depends on the nature of the closing mechanism of the film compartment.
