Do you mean Viva tubes? They are made in Slovakia apparently. If so not actually Telefunken. Telefunken's are, were, made in Germany. On their site at Ebay. 

 

"Please note, this is a new production tube, made in Slovakia and NOT an original / vintage Telefunken. These are considered reissues."

Mixed impressions about Viva here:

So far I understand Viva is a dealer and not a maker of tubes. And in the thread link above, some customers disagree with the way Viva uses the definition of NOS.

 

Regarding those „Telefunken“ tubes. I can't find anything new information about these American Telefunken rebranded tubes that were supposedly made at JJ.
