I notice that both Renner and Imadegawa hammers are sold by International Piano Supply of California. They also sell a generic USA made hammer.

I've never even ordered from IPS, so I can't make any statements about quality (either of merchandise or service). I only have their catalogue.

They're at ips@pianosupply.com
