Yes, every company must by their equipment from somewhere. Most companies only manufacture a specialty item and not the machines that make that special item.

Oh, yes, yes, yes. Factories that make machines for other factories are often referred to as "tool and die" manufacturies. ("Manufacturers" are the companies that operate factories and factories themselves are sometimes called "manufacturies.") Another term for this kind of business is "machine tool fabricators."
Sometimes factories need a machine, or a tool, that no one has ever made before. "Industrial designers" are often the people asked to help figure out how to make the first version of a brand-new piece of machinery. Then the parts of the machines are caefully thought out, and sometimes tested by an industrial model-maker. Usually a new machine must be tested and changed, many times until it does the job it was intended to do.
There are many great companies that specialize in this, from all over the world. Three that come to mind right away are:
1. Asea, Brown, Boveri - a combined Swedish and Swiss company that builds the factories as well as makes the equipment inside.
2. Siemens A.G. - a German company
3. Philips N.V. - a Dutch company
Other firms who should be engaged in this industry (check to see if these are correct!) are the American firms Westinghouse and General Electric. Poland is very famous for its machine tool industry, and China has begun exporting machine tool equipment rather than importing it as was the case years ago. Other Asian countries with machine tool businesses include South Korea and Japan.

There are numerous factories that make machinery for other factories, including Henion Dicing Products, LLC (creates machines that cuts plastics with little waste) and EPS (creates molding machinery for mass production).
If a factory needs a special machine to do a specific function and no one has marketed one for that function, a machinist, or a person who designs and builds new machinery to specifications, is called in. A close friend of mine is a machinist, and I think it's amazing what people ask for and how he meets their needs.
I hope this helps.

Yes there is a Factory that makes machines for other factories. Usually only one company is needed to do this. They design, machine and fabricate all parts needed to assemble other machines.

There is a factory that creates its own machines. These machines create machines which create more machines. This factory sells no products. It just continually populates the planet with more machines.

Of course it is, Just imagine if you are to build a plane, so you will need to buy all mashines to buld it and also mashines so it can fly iy, so we are talking of many different producers. So they all produce thing that others can use, for if it is not so, it would not be economicaly justified.
