Manufacturing plants (9)

I believe the answer is:

factories

'manufacturing plants' is the definition.
('factory' can be a synonym of 'manufacturing plant')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for factories that I've seen before include "Manufacturing plants" , "Manafacturing plants" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
