You need to change the product.tpl file in your themes directory. The following code is from suppliers-list.tpl. It won't work exactly this way but points you to the direction you have to go. It is also possible that you have to make some smaller changes in the product controller (ProductController.php) to fetch the supplier name and hand it over via smarty variable to the product.tpl file.

 

Code from supplier-list.tpl

{if isset($supplier.nb_products) && $supplier.nb_products > 0}
    <a href="{$link->getsupplierLink($supplier.id_supplier, $supplier.link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{$supplier.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}">
{/if}

Or to get the suppliers name to display within the link, try to use the following function from suppliers class:

 

public static function getNameById()

 

so the code in tpl could look like this:

{if isset($product->id_supplier) && $product->id_supplier > 0}
    <a href="{$link->getsupplierLink($product->id_supplier)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}">
     {Supplier::getNameById($product->id_supplier)}
    </a>
{/if}

Untested, quick and dirty.

@Scully Glad to have found your answer after 2h of searching. 💋

  {if $product.id_supplier}
              <a href="{$link->getSupplierLink($product.id_supplier)}">{Supplier::getNameById($product->id_supplier)}</a>
              {/if}

Works wonderful in 1.7.5 as well. The missing piece was how to get the supplier name since $product_supplier->name  was not working...
