manufacturing
Refers to the industrial or craft-based processing of raw materials into products. Used almost exclusively in an economic context, especially in the phrase 'verarbeitendes Gewerbe' (manufacturing sector).
Die verarbeitende Industrie ist ein wichtiger Wirtschaftszweig in Deutschland.
The manufacturing industry is an important sector of the economy in Germany.
'Verarbeitend' is the present participle of the verb 'verarbeiten' (to process). As an adjective, it describes a company or sector that actively transforms raw materials into products.
Ein verarbeitender Betrieb kauft Rohstoffe und stellt daraus neue Produkte her.
A manufacturing company buys raw materials and produces new products from them.
This adjective is used almost exclusively in the fixed phrases 'verarbeitendes Gewerbe' (manufacturing sector) or 'verarbeitende Industrie' (manufacturing industry). These terms refer to the economic sector that transforms raw materials into goods.
Das verarbeitende Gewerbe ist für den Export sehr wichtig.
The manufacturing sector is very important for exports.
The word 'verarbeitend' as an adjective is typical of business and economic terminology. In normal everyday language, it is rarely used in this form.
In den Nachrichten wurde über das Wachstum im verarbeitenden Sektor berichtet.
The news reported on growth in the manufacturing sector.
producing
Both words can describe a company or sector that makes goods. „Produzierend“ is broader and emphasizes production in general, while „verarbeitend“ specifically refers to processing raw materials and frequently occurs in „verarbeitendes Gewerbe“ (manufacturing sector). For this economic sector, „verarbeitend“ is therefore more precise.
Der verarbeitende Betrieb stellt aus Rohstoffen verschiedene Waren für den nationalen Markt her.
The manufacturing company makes various goods from raw materials for the domestic market.
Der produzierende Betrieb stellt verschiedene Waren für den nationalen Markt her.
The producing company makes various goods for the domestic market.
