What company manufactures the Leica named lens on the Lumix FZ20?

Is the Leica named lens of the Lumix FZ20 made by the Leica company itself, or is it made by another company using Leica "specs"? If so, what company manufactures the lens...??

I did some research and found some info on my own question...
