Bendix is now made by MAT Holdings - who also owns Roulunds Braking. Roulunds makes AutoZone and O'Reilly's house brand pads in China and India, Bendix-branded ones looking the stock imagery of them seem to be made there as well. BPI seems like they are making their pads(Raybestos and Napa, as well as Monroe and Pep Boys) in Mexico or China, seems like they shut down their Canadian plant they got via an bankruptcy acquisition.
Federal-Mogul is still making a majority of Wagner pads in the US and Mexico, the ones I've installed recently were Mexican made. It seems like what FM provides for parts house distributors(Federated SST and Perfect Stop for Auto Value) is rebranded Wagner QuickStop. I've used Perfect Stop before, they seem to work good.
If there's a drastic price difference, it might have to do more with the warranty and maybe hardware("better" shims and caliper clips/compound) - AFAIK, this is the case with AutoZone's Duralast Gold and CMAX series that offer a lifetime warranty.
