Each one of those suppliers have suppliers too.

As an example, I worked at a place that made a type of O-ring for Dana who in turn sold them in universal joints to someone else. We bought our plastic to make them from a two different suppliers, one recycled and one virgin material. I'm betting they had someone supply them as well.
