Manufacturers vs suppliers
How do suppliers and manufacturers differ?
Traditionally, a manufacturer creates a product, which is then sold in bulk to a supplier or wholesaler. Wholesalers then sell the manufacturer’s products to retailers and resellers who make the sale to end users.
Can a manufacturing company be a supplier?
Many companies combine manufacturing, distribution, and supply. Any UK based manufacturer that relies solely on one UK supplier is at risk. This is because they have no control over the sales teams of their supply chain. A wholesale or supply partner may prefer another manufacturer’s products due to higher margins or incentives.
Consequently, a growing number of manufacturers are setting up their own operations to sell their products directly to retailers, resellers, and even to end users. Just over half of the 120,000 manufacturing companies we have on record now take responsibility for some or all of the products they create.
