Russian term or phrase: Хотя XXX это разные группы ...
... деловые союзы охватывают такие типы промышленности как Цветные и Легкие металлы ...

I'm bothered about two things: the precise meaning of это here (is it "consists of"?), and the translation of разные группы. Multitran is sending me off on the "cross-sectional" track, which seems very odd to me.

In case it helps, this was originally in English, and I'm back-translating.
As always, any help greatly appreciated.

I think this is the right idea, but with "consists of". It bothers me that I haven't recaptured the original English!

Explanation:
Or something along those lines.

It's not "consists of". It's about the fact that business unions may be formed by businesses from different industry branches
