Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'manufacturing' (production of goods) with 'business' (a company), yielding a company engaged in producing goods. This is a straightforward, compositional Noun+Noun compound that follows common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Manufacturing business comes from old words where manufacturing originally meant 'making by hand' and business meant a 'company that does work'. So today the phrase means a company that makes goods, often using machines.
