While looking at Wikipedia’s Siren article, I saw this siren in on of the pictures. It was obviously a Whelen, but it said HSS.Dk on the controls. I was a bit confused because their is no mention of Whelen on the website, though on the website, you can see their products say “Whelen” on them. Apparently, these are the sirens in Denmark.
Sorry for the long paragraph, just wondering if anyone could help me find out more info about this company.

Thanks you in advance.

It's common for a company to buy/license a manufacturer's products to incorporate into their own sales line or product package. For the most part that's what Darley sirens are, and Sentry's VR electronic sirens use speakers from another manufacturer.

Neither company makes even the tiniest mention of each other in the websites.

Yes, that's normal. They don't have to, as one company is paying the other company for their product. Food companies don't have to tell you the names of the companies that produced their ingredients.
