The company that purchased "Sturmey Archer" (many years ago) is Sunrace.

In the beginning the quality from Sunrace was much superior to what had
been coming out of Sturmey at that point. Sadly, the quality level has been
decreasing for years and the people I know who sell SA hubs are now so fed
up with failure issues that they are no longer selling them. I don't
recommend relying on their current production for a front brake.

The other issue with drum brakes is heat fade, which is not an issue for a
bike ridden on flat roads, but is a serious issue for any bike ridden on
long downhills. This is why Drums were never popular for MTBs and why disc
brakes are.
