English translation:expert/skilled manufacturers and buyers
Explanation:
When somebody uses the "Profi" label, it has a slightly different ring to it than the unabbreviated "professional" term, which sounds like little more than a minimum requirement. Whenever you hear the Profi word, it's a bit more flashy. It's more like saying these people are experts; they're accomplished; they know what they're doing..

specialist manufacturers and buyers


Explanation:
These are the people who you can meet and talk with at the exhibition to get them to do business with you. Verarbeiter is actually more something like processor, but in this context I would use manufacturer.

agree  Chris Pr: With the asker's clarification, I'd venture 'producers' here (implying large & small), but the 'makers' idea seems like the correct one...ps. the linguee link doesn't help here (or elsewhere for that matter)...

agree  Lancashireman: Agree with suppliers for Verarbeiter (on the basis of the latest info from Martina) and buyers/purchasers for Einkäufer. // It's the XX Messe.

  -> Most people can figure out how to translate Verarbeiter and Einkäufer. I was more interested in "Profi", where my take differs from others.

top providers and purchasers


Explanation:
1) Because this is Messe XX (and nobody is blaming you for keeping that confidential), the translation for Verarbeiter needs to remain generic. Whether they are processors, manufacturers or artisans, they are all providers.
2) Purchasers as a synonym for buyers (stand by for howls of complaint)
3) Top as a synonym for professional, expert, specialist (same comment as above). It's marketing, after all.
