buyers

My comment:

Harraps Business Dictionary has 'prescripteurs' as 'opinion leaders' but I would say in your context the term refers to those people responsible for choosing which materials to purchase...getting/staying on the right side of them would be essential!

purchasing decision makers or deciders

My comment:

In the US, we might say deciders, in the UK, decision makers...

It means the people calling the shots in purchasing
