Yup, that is a Carette or Alpha Carette as they are known in the US. As far as I know the exclusive dealer in the states is Joe Brancato (airtanksforsale.com). Getting replacement parts from the dealer can be tricky, but if you do some digging you will find that some of the parts interchange with other chinese compressors. There is also a member here on AGN that can get parts directly from the factory, his user name is "bosun". As I look at his profile he hasn't logged into AGN since October 18 of this year so it might be tough to get parts from him?
It's a pretty nice compressor (for the money) and relatively reliable in my experience, but it is slow. I have been maintaining / repairing one for a friend and have been relatively impressed with it (once again for the price). Have had to do 3 relatively minor repairs in the last 2 years and the compressor is now 5 years old.
I would love to get my hands on a new 'Carette II' air cooled 3 stage compressor, as I feel like this could be a great alternative between the $1500 (enthusiast) and $3000+ (commercial) compressors. But if there is only going to be a single dealer in the US (Joe B) I see that as a huge drawback and probably a deal-breaker for me. There needs to be more than one source for parts and support in the states!
