This change would reqire a lot of adaptation. First, you would need to write a new controller, for example called ManufacturerGroupController.

 

This new controller would allow to create the manufacturer groups. It would require a new database table and more.

 

Then it would also require the existing manufacturer controller to be overridden. It needed the new group field to be included. Again, the database would need extension in the manufacturer table.

 

Overall I'd guess you had to change some 10 files. Doable for an expert within 2 days. It you are not very experienced, it might take weeks.

 

Way easier:

Create a new CMS page for your manufacturer list. There you can use plain html with all subtitles and link to the existing single manufacturers. This can be done within minutes.

 

At the end you could link the new CMS page to top horizontal menu or somewhere else!

And sorry, just replace manufacturer with supplier in my post. The way keeps the same.
