manufacturing company
Without more context, this is difficult one. I would have said 'production company', but today this of course refers to a film producing company. Jennifer's answer sounds good, but seems to be more commonly used for heavy industry/mining companies. If this is the case in your text, then that would be the way to go, but if not, then maybe a term that implies manufacturing or processing is preferable.

There are increasingly a number of resources companies who are listing on foreign stock exchanges as either a primary or secondary listing.
This article explores the relative merits of a resources company listing in Australia, which has one of the oldest and most established exchanges for the listing of resources companies in Asia versus Hong Kong, which has not had the same history of listing resources companies. It looks at the issues from the perspective of a resources company that is either incorporated in Australia or Hong Kong or in neither of them.
