Chinese term or phrase: 代表厂商
Translating a simple news story, but I'm not sure about this term, which appeared in the sentence:

这家成立于2006年的企业是无线网络技术的代表厂商

What is the standard word for 代表厂商? I'm pretty sure translating it literally, as "representative manufacturer," isn't right, and "manufacturer representative" refers to a person.

Any ideas?

謝謝~

English translation:Representative/leading manufacturer
Explanation:
Is it possible that the text is referring to a "representative manufacturer" in the sense of a 具代表性的厂商? In that case, I think you could get away with translating it "representative manufacturer" or even "leading manufacturer/vendor" or "key manufacturer/vendor."
