Why is it la comercializadora and not el comercializador?

Because comercializadora is a feminine noun here. Many agent nouns in Spanish can end in -dor or -dora:

• comercializador = masculine form
• comercializadora = feminine form

For companies, Spanish often uses the feminine form because words like empresa or compañía are feminine, and the noun is understood as referring to that type of entity.

So la comercializadora is the normal way to say the supplier/retailer company in this context.
