Yes they do, but half decent manufacturers are extremely rare.
I work for a manufacturer with part catalogues going back to 1921, and while the telegraph codes no longer work, you could absolutely still order up a given part, or request from us the engineering diagram for it to aid in fabricating a replacement. You can also request service manuals, wiring diagrams, etc. Don’t all half-decent manufacturers do this?

Now I wish you’d tell us what the company is so if I ever need anything in that industry, I’d know where to buy from.

No. That is phenomenally uncommon. To the point it’s almost unheard of.
