That kind of pre-arrangement is extremely easy to do in today's market where severe over-capacity and unemployment exist (automobiles, for instance). All it takes is planning. Greece is not known as a manufacturing powerhouse, but a quick check shows that there are a number of companies making trucks and auto parts: Theologou, Biamax, Sfakianakis, Saracakis, Namco, Neorion, ELBO . . .
I believe the gadget is being manufactured in the U.S. (I don't recall where I heard that.)
There is plenty of overcapacity in the U.S. as well. Also, outsourcing of high-tech industrial production has become common in recent decades. I expect the Ni catalyst is made by some specialized firm. That takes a lot of know-how.
