English term or phrase: The product range is a broad one.
HISTORY OF A PAPER MILL (Geschichte einer Papierfabrik?)

This is how I have translated the sentence:
Die Produktpalette ist eine umfassende.

Die Produktpalette ist eine umfangreiche.

Das Warenangebot ist ein ausgedehntes.
Deb Phillips (X)
Die Produktpalette ist breitgefächert (or: umfassend / umfangreich...)
Explanation:
In a marketing text, you might be able to say "umfassendes Produktangebot", "breitgefächerte Produktpalette" or some such, maybe appended to the preceding or the following sentence.

If it must be a sentence, make it simple: noun - verb - adjective.

I don\'t think there\'s a literal translation for \"a broad one\". Maybe the one that comes closest (in my opinion) is \"breitgefächert\", implying \"a broad range\" or \"a broad scale of different products\".
All the other terms mean literally \"broad\" = umfassend, ausgedehnt, umfangreich.
