Many brand names have been reused as names for products that have nothing to do with the original brand/manufacturer. Trading companiers, that have no production anymore or have no real realations with the original brand buy old names. Exakta, Contax, Voigtl�nder - are examples - to mention a few. I believe ther's a market for just "names". When a manufacturer closes down, they can make a profit by selling or licensing their name/brand.
A Cosina named Porst is still not a Porst, just a Cosina with "borrowed" name tag.
BTW, I may be confusing Alpha (made by Zeiss) with Acra Swiss, a large format Swiss camera - portable large format, great for landscapes etc. I was reviewed in Outdoor Photographer a couple of years back.
