machinery wholesaler
A place where machinery is sold in bulk to machinery retailers or other large commercial purchasers.
A machinery wholesaler is a place where machinery retailers or other large-scale commercial purchasers buy machinery in bulk, usually for resale at a higher price to their own customers.
The equipment is supplied to professional purchasers. A purchaser may resell machinery or obtain it for a business operation; resale is usual rather than compulsory.
A machinery service facility maintains or repairs equipment already in use. Supplying machinery and servicing it are different activities, even when one business undertakes both.
