Morphology

remanufacturer = remanufacture (semi-transparent) = re + manufacture + er

The suffix '-er' straightforwardly forms an agent noun meaning a person or company that remanufactures.

Etymology

The word remanufacturer starts with re- meaning 'again' and has manufacture meaning 'to make', just like the common word manufacturer. So a remanufacturer is someone who 'makes again' by restoring used products to 'like-new' condition.
