unset($query['virtuemart_product_id']);
unset($query['virtuemart_category_id']);
} else {
if(isset($query['virtuemart_product_id'])) {
if ($helper->use_id) $segments[] = $query['virtuemart_product_id'];
$virtuemart_product_id = $query['virtuemart_product_id'];
unset($query['virtuemart_product_id']);
}
if(empty( $query['virtuemart_category_id'])){
$query['virtuemart_category_id'] = $helper->getParentProductcategory($virtuemart_product_id);
}
if(!empty( $query['virtuemart_category_id'])){
$categoryRoute = $helper->getCategoryRoute($query['virtuemart_category_id']);
if ($categoryRoute->route) $segments[] = $categoryRoute->route;
if ($categoryRoute->itemId) $query['Itemid'] = $categoryRoute->itemId;
else $query['Itemid'] = $jmenu['virtuemart'];
} else {
$query['Itemid'] = $jmenu['virtuemart']?$jmenu['virtuemart']:@$jmenu['virtuemart_category_id'][0];
}
unset($query['virtuemart_category_id']);

if($virtuemart_product_id)
$segments[] = $helper->getProductName($virtuemart_product_id);
}
break;

} else {
$segments[] = $helper->lang('manufacturers').'/'.$helper->getManufacturerName($query['virtuemart_manufacturer_id']) ;
if ( isset($jmenu['manufacturer']) ) $query['Itemid'] = $jmenu['manufacturer'];

What you can do is
Create a function in components/com_virtuemart/router.php

public function getMyManufacturerId($virtuemart_product_id ){
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$query = $db->getQuery(true);
$query->select('virtuemart_manufacturer_id');
$query->from('#__virtuemart_product_manufacturers');
$query->where('virtuemart_product_id ='. $virtuemart_product_id.'');   
$db->setQuery($query);
$o= $db->loadResult();
return $o;
}

Now in Case Productdetails around the line 210 of that same router.php file, modify last IF statement to. This will call your new helper function, after which default helper function for Virtuemart Manufacturer SLUG value is delivered. Pay attention this solution may work with 1 manufacturer. In case you assign more manufacturers per product, you may need to decide which value from the aforementioned function to take i.e. return $o[0] or other.

if($virtuemart_product_id){
               $segments[] = $helper->getManufacturerName($helper->getMyManufacturerId($virtuemart_product_id)) ."/". $helper->getProductName($virtuemart_product_id);   
         }

huh... i guess this wont ever make it as a setting in the official VM config

The most simple method is to add the manufacturer name to the 'product-alias' field when you add a new product.
