manufacturer = manufacture (transparent) = manufacture + er
Standard agentive formation: '-er' attaches to the verb 'manufacture' to denote a person or company that manufactures.
Etymology
Manufacturer comes from Latin parts manu- meaning 'hand' and -fact- meaning 'make', the same roots you see in manual ('hand') and factory ('a place that makes things'). So a manufacturer is a person or company that 'makes' products, originally by hand and now often in large amounts.
