What is the difference between "Industrial Co., Ltd." and "Limited Company"?

There is no difference, because they themselves are not comparable. "Industrial Co., Ltd." is just a word to explain the nature of the company such as "development", "trade", "consulting" and so on. The so-called "industrial limited company" generally refers to a limited company whose main business is the establishment of economic entities.
