Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The local furniture manufacturer is an organizational buyer, as they are purchasing raw materials for production and resale rather than for personal use as an end-consumer would. They are not an original equipment manufacturer as they are not producing the raw materials themselves, nor are they a middle-consumer as there are no intermediaries between them and the raw material supplier.
