The discs and pads aren't made by Sumitomo. Sumitomo is the name of the manufacturer that made the original parts for Subaru, which is why that name is listed there.
SAP's discs are actually made by Quinton Hazell, and they are excellent - better in many ways than some of the expensive aftermarket grooved/drilled/etc. "upgrade" discs you could buy.
The pads I don't know about. Think a couple of people from here have ordered them in the past so it might be worth searching back to see what the score was. The discs are cheap enough though, so you can always spend the saving on some Mintex 1144 or something along those lines.

Never used the discs, but are "OEM quality" I am told. Have not used the pads on road, but their top of the line stuff on a racing Miata they completed a full 4 hour enduro race without much trouble.
