Explanation:
Let me try to answer this question from business management point of view.

In my company people use this term to mean,

Functional expansion / business expansion / geographic expansion / capacity expansion / international expansion etc

Exactly meaning certainly depends on the context.

"Exactly meaning certainly depends on the context" should be "Exact meaning certainly depends on the context". Sorry for the typo..

Not sure but perhaps the consultant is talking about the expansion / extension of product line by adding similar parts/components to the product range offered by the company.
