There was a link on the ITTF web page.
http://en.729sports.com/index.aspxLooks like they don't just make table tennis stuff, they also make rubber railway sleepers for high speed rail tracks!
There's a long list of players on the Chinese national team that used 729 products - unfortunately the last one was in 1987.
Their whole line of rubbers and blades are listed (but the descriptions are far from enlightening). Oh wait - Batwings is listed (called Pu Ji Dui Tao) but XL isn't, which reinforces my suspicion that XL is 729 sheets bought in bulk and repackaged by another company. And their "euro-sponge" versions (with the leopard face on the cover) aren't listed either. And "Sky-wing" is shown with the "Sky-King" packaging!
Blades... lots of blades listed, but again the descriptions leave much to be desired (especially if you want to know the woods used in the blade). Take for instance, the A-3:
