The Linux kernel was originally written by Linus Torvalds. It was published under the GNU GPL license, which basically allows anyone to use/modify it so long as they continue to make their changes available in source code. As such, the project grew substantially and it supported by people/companies all around the world. There are many variations/distributions made available by groups. There are some companies (Red Hat) that provide an "enterprise" quality distribution and charge for support for the platform.
So in short, there really is no "manufacturer" per say.
