Explanation:
Was ist ein Konfektionär?

"Ein Konfektionär produziert für einen Auftraggeber außerhalb seines Firmengeländes. Die Dienstleistung des Konfektionärs beginnt mit der Teilfertigung von Baugruppen und geht bis zur kompletten Herstellung eines Produkts (Komplettservice)."

It mentions Baugruppen, so I think Bernd may be on the right lines when he mentions assemblies. But I think the idea is that they make things for other manufacturers, rather than selling to end users.

We have had this term before, but I think the context was slightly different:

The vast majority of hits are for "technischer Konfektionär", which is a job title:
