umformende Metall- und Kunststoffverarbeitung

English translation: forming of metals and plastics

Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering
German term or phrase: umformende Metall- und Kunststoffverarbeitung
"Mit ca. 100 qualifizierten Mitarbeitern führt die zerspanende und ***umformende Metall- und Kunststoffverarbeitung*** durch CNC-Drehen, CNC-Fräsen, Schleifen, Bohren, CO2-Laserschneiden, CNC-Abkanten, als auch moderne Schweißverfahren, die Verbindungen verschiedenster Werkstoffe in höchster Präzision zu den qualitativ hochwertigen Produkten."

Heaven help me, is that even a correct sentence in German?
My more immediate problem, however, is "umformende". What is it here? I see various possibilities for "umformen" in technical dictionaries but am getting very few Google hit on any of them paired up with metal and/or plastic processing.

Explanation:
The "Verarbeitung" is superfluous here as the techniques are already mentioned (cutting and forming)
