I know of two manufacturers:

"1812" VEB Sächs.-Sportboot-u. Wetterschutz-Bekleidung Großschönau

"1933," All that I know about "1933" is that they also used the Betriebsnummer "90944500"

I looked through "Wer liefert was?" and found two makers of fisherman's suits......essentially VM suits were fisherman's suits...just of a different style........

VEB Textil- und Veredlungsbetrieb Neugersdorf (8706 Neugersdorf, Bebelstr.)
VEB TEKARAU/tkv Textil- und Kunststoffverarbeitung Raschau/Erz. (DDR-9443)

Additionally VEB Textilwerk Babelsberg-Potsdam made suits for fishermen.
