To clarify, I understand that the company that makes the product is
called Farouk, however I'm trying to find out the OEM (original
equipment manufacturer) of this product.   I specifically am
interested in buying in bulk some of these products.

Hello.

The CHI Hair Iron is a product of Farouk Systems of Houston, Texas, USA.
http://www.farouk.com/chi.htm

If you're interested in a becoming a distributor of their products,
you'd need to contact them Farouk directly.

Hi,

Your clarification was posted after I locked the question, and was
thus invisible to me until I posted the answer.  As such, I was not
aware until now that you knew about Farouk.  I'll see if I can find
anything else.

Okay, I've found out the following...

The Chi flat iron is also sold under the "Global Beauty Network" brand.

"Global Beauty Network hair straightener is also known as CHI flat
iron, or CHI ceramic hairstyling iron. This item is identical to item
no. A8526."

That address and phone number belong to the following company...
