Ein verarbeitender Betrieb kauft Rohstoffe und stellt daraus neue Produkte her.

producing
'produzierend' and 'verarbeitend' both have to do with business and manufacturing. 'produzierend' is more general: a company or sector manufactures goods or produces products. 'verarbeitend' is more specific and means that raw materials or intermediate products are processed into new products. You hear 'verarbeitendes Gewerbe' (manufacturing sector) especially often. The words can be confused because processing is also a kind of production. If you are speaking generally about manufacturing or production, 'produzierend' is more likely to fit. If it is about the industrial processing of material, 'verarbeitend' is more precise.
Im verarbeitenden Gewerbe werden Rohstoffe zu fertigen Waren gemacht.
In the manufacturing sector, raw materials are turned into finished goods.
