manufacturera

Manufacturera is a feminine noun in Spanish that can refer to a person or a company involved in manufacturing. It is formed from manufactura (manufacture) plus the agentive suffix -era, a pattern that yields a designation for someone associated with a specific activity or industry.

In usage, manufacturera can denote a female person who manufactures or a female-led manufacturing business. The term is less common than more general expressions such as empresa manufacturera or industria manufacturera, which explicitly describe a company or sector. When used on its own, manufacturera may appear in branding, headlines, or descriptive phrases, where it signals a focus on production activities and often female leadership or ownership.

The term can be found in regional varieties of Spanish, particularly in contexts emphasizing manufacturing as an economic activity. It is common to see it in constructions like una empresa manufacturera, una industria manufacturera, or la manufacturera local. For clarity, many speakers prefer neutral alternatives such as fabricante (for a person who manufactures) or empresa de manufactura/industria manufacturera when referring to the sector.

Examples: La manufacturera local se especializa en textiles. Una manufacturera fundada por una emprendedora opera en varios países. En informes económicos, la industria manufacturera emplea a millones de trabajadores y representa una parte clave del PIB. See also: industria manufacturera, empresa manufacturera, fabricante.
