IT-Bandherstellung

This may not be strictly "Film and TV", as the company also produces audio books. Not much information as this comes from a directory listing for the company (the website doesn't help much, but FWIW http://www.johannisthalsynchron.de/)

IT=Internationaler Ton - siehe hier: http://www.movie-college.de/filmschule/ton/mischung.htm: "Für die so genannte IT-Mischung (M-&-E Mischung) werden letztlich nur länderspezifische Bestandteile (Dialog und Erzähler) weggelassen."

M&E tracks are "music & effects" tracks, i.e. everything but the voices, which allow foreign distributors to add their own dubbed voices.

You can use just "M&E tracks" in the context you have, or perhaps "M&E track production" - or to tie it in with the following words ("und Tonherstellung"): "M&E track and audio production".
