parts supplier
Sells replacement pieces
A parts supplier is a business that provides component pieces to manufacturers or repair services.
Auto parts suppliers sell replacement components for vehicles; industrial parts suppliers stock machinery components.
The term distinguishes wholesalers of components from retailers of finished goods: We're waiting on the parts supplier to ship a new transmission.
