English term (edited):
is a trade-only supplier
travaille exclusivement avec une clientèle professionnelle
I think you'd do well to turn it round a bit in FR — and I don't believe 'supplier' is really necessary or helpful in your translation here. Likewise, you might need to slightly re-word to get around using an adverb for 'strictly'.

fournisseur uniquement professionnel
Ceux que j'ai a l'atelier viennent de "centrale direct", mais un fournisseur uniquement professionnel... ce sont des produits automobile, vous trouverez cela un peu partout, Norauto, Dans des magasins fournisseurs auto, comme Rembaud assez connu en Vendée.

: That wrongly implies that the supplier is 'professional', but doesn't say TO WHOM they sell.

Pincon Arnault
: He is definitely right...professionnel in this case refers to CENTRALE DIRECT's clientele.
Norauto ,one of their client is a widely recognised french company and the second one mentionned in the text is well known only in vendee(french region)
