is a trade-only supplier
travaille exclusivement avec une clientèle professionnelle


Explanation:
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'.

'trade' = not general public / retail = 'professionnel'

disagree  HERBET Abel: Trop lourd

  -> It's the same number of words!

agree  Daryo: one perfectly good way of putting it.
10 hrs
  -> Merci, Daryo ! And from what I ahve seen in my FR > EN work, arguably more idiomatic.

neutral  Tony M: Misses out the strength of 'strictly', and how do you fit this with 'XXX is a...'?

fournisseur uniquement professionnel


Explanation:
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.

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

disagree  Daryo: said that way, it's about the seller being "professional", not the clients!
9 hrs

disagree  HERBET Abel: Faux sens
10 hrs

agree  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)
