About Us

Purchasing Professionals, Inc. was established in 1994, specializing in providing staffing solutions for purchasing, materials and supply chain departments.

Purchasing Professionals, Inc. is owned by Rita Abrahamson, a former Purchasing Manager who experienced first-hand the lack of access to experienced temporary professionals for the purchasing field. Today we remain focused on this niche in the marketplace and are committed to exceeding the expectations of our clients and employees.

We are a woman-owned staffing firm with headquarters in Bloomington, Minnesota and a branch office- Procurement Professionals, Inc. servicing the greater Chicago, Illinois area since 1997.

What sets us apart? We know purchasing and supply chain!! We not only have the staffing expertise, but we bring that special understanding of what it takes to be a purchasing professional.

Our clientele consists of companies of all sizes in many different industries to include manufacturing, services, retail, food, construction, printing, packaging, transportation, distribution and many more...

Our experiences and background is strengthened by our memberships in NAPM-Twin Cities, NAPM-Chicago Chapter, ISM (Institute of Supply Management), MNRSA (Minnesota Recruiting and Staffing Association) and ASA (American Staffing Association).
