sub-fornecedores means there would be a \"main supplier/contractor\" who supplies/builds/installs the whole plant (maybe a bottling plant), the sub-fornecedores would supply one part of the equipment (say the control system/filters, etc.).
In my experience suppliers - whether it\'s equipment (as in your case) or language services (as in our case) - can be called subcontractors. I see it more often used than subsupplier (at least in the UK).

subsuppliers
Gosto mais do "subcontractor" já sugerido, mas esta é apenas mais uma opção.
In English, the subcontractor may also be called subsupplier.

Discussion
the case in hand is equipment suppliers - would you still consider them
subcontractors??
