Industrial Buying is where goods and services are purchased specifically to be used in the production of other products. During the course of production, the forms of the “bought-out” products will be converted into products with greater utility, that is, which satisfy wider needs. Organizations in this category include Hospitals, restaurants, schools, other institutions that buy food and supplies from a wholesale grocer for consumption, not for resale, those which are involved in extractive activities (e.g. mining, quarrying, oil drilling); those involved in agriculture, horticulture, forestry and fishing; and those involved in manufacturing.
