Formula Help

Hi All - I am hoping someone might be able to help me. I am terrible at formulas and I cant seem to figure out how to pull what I need on my own so I copied a formula from another sheet we have at our company. The issue is that it returns it multiple times. So the expected result is "four", the formula returns "four" anytime the condition is met.

Here is the formula I am using:

=JOIN(COLLECT({Different Sheet (2024) Range 6}, {Different Sheet (2024) Range 1}, CONTAINS([Product (P)]@row, @cell)), "")

Even after doing some reading I am still not quite sure what Join and Collect do and maybe there is a different formula altogether that i can do. My goal is that I can find what company manufactured a specific batch. Range 6 in this case is where the companies are listed. Range 1 is where the batch numbers are.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
