Defence firm proposes weapons-components factory at Mossmorran plant that halted production in February

ExxonMobil's Mossmorran ethylene plant stopped production in February because it was no longer financially sustainable, affecting more than 400 employees. The Scottish government pledged £9m to support the workforce and secure a long-term future for the site. The UK government subsequently announced investment of the same scale in new projects at Mossmorran, with defence manufacturing set to be brought in.
