German term
Zielfertiger
German to English
Bus/Financial
Manufacturing
General context: company-internal implementation guideline for design documents for (product) conversions and retrofits/upgrades. The originator of the document is a German company active in the smart card and electronic security areas (design, production, system engineering).
Specific context (with ** added for emphasis):
Umrüstung
Unter Umrüstung versteht man die gezielte Ergänzung / Veränderung eines Systems vor der Auslieferung.
Damit ist definiert, dass für diese internen Umrüstungen nach den EG-Richtlinien für Umrüstungen nur die üblicherweise notwendigen Konstruktionsunterlagen, jedoch keine speziellen Umrüstanleitungen erstellt werden müssen. Dies gilt laut FAVW auch für Umrüstungen, welche beim **Zielfertiger** (als verlängerte Werkbank von [Firma XXX]) durchgeführt werden.
Aus einem Umrüstsatz darf nie ein allgemein auszuführender Nachrüstsatz werden.
There's very little help to be found with google -- I get exactly one hit for Zielfertiger and nothing for Zielfertigung, and Zielherstellung and its variants don't help much either.
My inclination is to understand this to mean a contract manufacturer (for outsourced manufacturing).
The relevant text from the one hit for Zielfertiger is:
Fertigungsmanagement darunter verstehen wir die Entlastung unserer Kunden im Einkaufs- und Beschaffungsprozess. Wir sorgen für optimale Verteilung von Fertigungsaufträgen, passen den Zielfertiger an Ihre Angaben, Wünsche und Preisvorstellungen an und organisieren für Sie die komplette Abwicklung.

Comment: "Not entirely sure that this is the same, but it could work. I used 'contract manufacturer' and the client didn't complain (no news is good news). From the context, it sounds like the important factor here is the the manufacturer acts on order of another company, which is a slightly different slant than 'target' or 'designated'."

German term (edited):
Zielfertigung
target producer
In production management, this term refers to the producer (or class of producers) a buyer is looking for. *Zielfertigung* is a term I do not know, so my answer refers actually to *Zielfertiger* which was the term used in the text you quote.
