The base word is 'das Unternehmen' (the company). An 'Industrieunternehmen' (industrial company) is therefore a specific type of company. If you know 'Unternehmen' (company), you can understand many other words like 'Familienunternehmen' (family business) or 'Softwareunternehmen' (software company).

The small family business grew into an international industrial company.
In an economic context, 'Industrieunternehmen' (industrial company) is often combined with certain adjectives. Typical examples are 'ein mittelständisches' (a medium-sized), 'ein führendes' (a leading), or 'ein internationales' (an international) Industrieunternehmen.

company / undertaking
'das Unternehmen' and 'das Industrieunternehmen' both refer to a company or business. 'das Unternehmen' is the general term and can fit many areas, such as trade, services, or production. 'das Industrieunternehmen' is more specific: it manufactures or processes goods, usually in factories and on a larger scale. The words can be confused because every industrial company is a company. But not every company is an industrial company.
