Hello dentoman,
Thank you for your question.
Searching for metalized blanket manufacturers, I first located the
following company in the UK:
Harrison Insulating Systems
http://www.hisystems.co.uk/
We are one of the UK's premier manufacturers and suppliers of high
quality 'Life' brand Emergency (sometimes known as 'Space') Blankets,
Reusable Blankets and Marathon Recovery Capes. Within this site you
will find details on our product lines, information on the best ways
to use the blankets, some additional information about hypothermia.
It reminded me that the original design and use for these was due to
NASA and the Apollo program and I looked to see what I could find for
"space blanket". As you can see, the following is but one of dozens of
vendors that sell these folded and packaged at very reasonable prices.

Searching further for "manufacturer of" +"space blanket" lead me to
MPI Outdoors, the manufacturer of the original Space Blanket:

"SPACE ® Brand ALL WEATHER BLANKET is a by-product of the super
insulating materials originally developed by MPI for NASA. This
blanket will reflect and help retain over 80% of radiated body heat,
providing warmth and protection, even in sub zero temperatures.
Manufactured by MPI since 1964, this is a premier accessory product
for all outdoor activities. The fully bound material measures 60" (152
cm) by 84" (214cm), weighs just 10 ounces (283 g) and is available in
RED. BLUE. OLIVE DRAB or ORANGE. The multi-ply laminated construction
along with the reflective metal surface make this the "ideal outdoor
safety blanket", for personal protection, shelters, ground covers,
boating, hiking, sight visibility and it is a radar reflector. The ALL
WEATHER BLANKET is a four ply laminate of clear polyethylene film, a
precise vacuum deposition of pure aluminum, a special reinforcing
fabric and a layer of colored polyethylene film. This new ASTROLAR®
reinforcing fabric provides up to 50% more tear and puncture
resistance than our previous product. The special four layer
construction techniques of the ALL WEATHER BLANKET and its unique
physical properties help to make it a perfect accessory item for all
outdoor activities.
SPACE ®Brand EMERGENCY BLANKET is about the size of a package of
cigarettes, but opens to a 56" (142cm) by 84" (214cm) tough and
durable blanket. Manufactured by MPI since 1964 of the finest
polyester material and purest vacuum deposited aluminum for the
reflective surface, this product has helped to save countless lives,
by providing protection from the elements. Used worldwide in disaster
relief, rescue, and by militaries, this product is a 2 ounce life
insurance policy. Will help prevent hypothermia by reflecting and
retaining body heat, it is also very effective in preventing trauma
shock, using the same reflective qualities. Available in silver/silver
for regular use and Orange/Silver for greater visibility against a
snow or water background. Registered FDA Medical Device No. 1220702.
This is the"ORIGINAL SPACE® BLANKET" made exclusively in America,
since 1964. Do not be fooled by imitations without a reputation, or of
suspect origin. When it's your life you want the "proven best". "
There is no mention on their pages if they supply OEM, but it is a
registered medical device and I would venture to guess that they
indeed may do OEM sales.
An interesting and similar product called the Blizzard Pack appears
here:
