German term or phrase: Industrie
Wir produzieren Effekte für Werbung, für "Industriefilme" und für Kinofilm....Wir sind weltweit aufgestellt und produzieren Visual Effects für "Industrie", für Werbung, für TV und für Kinofilme.

I'm not sure how to translate "Industriefilme" and "Industrie" here. proz suggests "coporate films/videos" for the first one, which I have used, but then I'm stuck on the second term. I assume "Industrie" essentially refers to the same thing here, so "industry" doesn't sound right... Any ideas? Thank you!

neutral  orla: that would be Unternehmensfilm, sure more or less the same in most contexts but there is a whole history of Industrial films, if its important to distinguish (maybe corporate comes up somewhere else) then would use industrial

Explanation:
Don't see a reason, why you can't stick to this.
Alternatives are: industrial video or image film/video

Industry Films
Whether the production process, technical production, or innovative changes, all can be better conveyed through the medium of an industrial film. We can also offer your industry film in a number of international languages such as English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian.
