Weapon Manufacturers

Source Starfinder Armory pg. 55
In the Pact Worlds, manufacturing weapons is a lucrative business with guaranteed customers, ranging from law enforcement and private security operations to explorers, mercenaries, and less savory outfits. Although many corporations produce a variety of weapons, some are known for product lines featuring particular modifications.

Many of these modifications can’t be used on weapons that operate without internal mechanisms the manufacturer’s alteration can govern. Such weapons include analog melee weapons, bows, thrown weapons, and grenades.

Off the shelf, no weapon can have more than one manufacturer’s modification. However, plenty of weapon dealers offer customization, allowing you to combine mods that other manufacturers may be known for. You can mix modifications yourself by crafting the item you want. If you combine mods in any way, the final price of the finished item is equal to the normal price plus the cost of the modifications plus another 10%. In any case, a specific manufacturer’s rules supersede these generalities. If a question arises, the GM is the arbiter of whether a modification can be applied to a weapon or if certain modifications can’t be combined.

Mineragenics

Source Starfinder #29: The Cradle Infestation pg. 45
The Mineragenics corporation is one of the smallest military manufacturers on Bretheda, though its operations have grown exponentially since the successful release of its Frozen Life weaponry line. The barathus who own this firm first experimented with exoskeletal modifications and variations on the armor plating barathus have used for millennia, but a side venture resulted in the development of simple weapons made from the same mineral deposits.
A Frozen Life weapon can be any non-powered kinetic melee weapon, and they all have the archaic weapon property regardless of whether the original weapon had that property. The weapons may not be powerful, but they are remarkably affordable; if the type of weapon was not already archaic, its price is 20% lower than normal.
