The "manufacturer" may not necessarily be the organization that makes, builds, or assembles the product. The manufacturer may also be the organization that designs the product. The manufacturer may be the organization that sells the product on the open market. The manufacturer may be the company who maintains or services the product. The manufacturer may be the company who wishes they thought of that product first. The manufacturer may also be a company who is thinking about making that product, but hasn't really gathered the money to actually build one. The manufacturer might also be someone who bought the product and then went and broke the product and then fixed it themselves, leading to the term "re-manufactured". The manufacturer could be a company who ordered the product and had it in their mailroom before sending it to another destination, especially if the company re-packaged the product or used a different mail carrier than the first manufacturer. In short, he's a manufacturer, she's a manufacturer, we're a manufacturer, they're a manufacturer, wouldn't you like to be a manufacturer, too?
