I think I'm missing something.  
 
If the company_id is stored in a single column in the contacts table, I don't 
think that you should have duplicate suppliers; you will only match one company 
per row. Are you using the contacts table as the requestor and the companies 
table as the supplier?
 
If there are duplicates (I could use some clarification on why) you could try 
specifying a list, and then using a ListExploder to get individual records.
 
One thing to be careful of is which attributes you're dealing with.  I often 
use the AttributeKeeper and AttributePrefixer transformers prior to using a 
FeatureMerger so that there is no room for confusion.

in many-to-many



As for the company contacts intermediate table I did use the feature
merger in exactly the way you have mentioned here and I am not able
top get the duplicate contactid_companyid records from the feature
merger even though I have turned on the option to process the
duplicates.  The duplicates are created but they do not contain the
information from the company table record as I believe it should.  I
can't seem to find a way to get it to give back the duplicates with
the valid companyid?  I haven't used the feature merger before so
maybe I need a little direction on getting this to work properly?
