Third parties/third party suppliers

My comment:

Why go for a literal translation and insist on incorporating 'names'?
This obviously refers to third-party suppliers as opposed to the base company and its regular commercial associates.

front names or cover-up name

My comment:

In this case it is all about cover up. A front name is a name adopted by someone who has false intentions and wants to avoid to be known as such. Drittnamen has to do with cover up, so "cover up names" could be an alternative.
