TBG International Limited lodged plans with Fife Council to construct a weapons components factory at the former Fife ethylene plant at Mossmorran. The proposed facility would include specialized storage magazines designed to protect explosives and munitions. Maggie Chapman criticized these plans, arguing they represent an effort to militarize the Scottish economy and called instead for the creation of green jobs.
