Manufacture and manufacturer are two terms often confused, but they have distinct meanings in business and production. “Manufacture” refers to the act or process of producing goods, typically on a large scale, using machinery, labor, and materials. “Manufacturer,” on the other hand, is the entity or company responsible for this production process. Manufacturers play a key role in creating products that are then distributed to consumers or other businesses. Understanding the difference between “manufacture” and “manufacturer” is crucial for both suppliers and customers in ensuring that the correct term is used in the context of production and sourcing goods.
