Since there were no answers resolving my dilemma, I ended up asking the client, and in the context of his business the best translation was supply industries. However, I chose this answer as most helpful because of the link. It will prove helpful in the future, I'm sure. Also, because neither this answer or the other one submitted was as helpful as I had hoped for, I'm awarding only 2 points.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, this is precisely my dilemma. I would have translated it "supply industries," but then I saw somewhere that oelevering = subcontractors' supplies; contracted-out supplies and toeleveringsbedrijf = subcontractor and toeleveringsproces = subcontracting process. Are supply industries synonymous with subcontracting industries within the context of industrial automation?
