Doubtful. What's more likely is that they get them from Roger Siminoff, who's also in California. Newtone strings are as expensive as they are because it's one guy making them by hand, on top of which they have to be imported from the UK.

I have no particular knowledge on how Siminoff gets his strings made, whether he's making them himself or has them made for him. But there's a strong connection between Siminoff and the Santa Cruz Guitar Company, and has been for a long time.
