stockpiler
One who amasses
A stockpiler is someone who accumulates and stores large quantities of something for future use.
The term often appears in contexts of emergency preparedness or hoarding: Stockpilers cleared the shelves of canned goods before the storm.
It can carry neutral or negative connotations depending on whether the accumulation seems prudent or excessive.
