Stockline Plastics Factory Explosion - Confusion Over Name

Confusion Over Name

Although regularly referred to as the "Stockline Plastics factory", largely due to the signage around the building, the factory was owned by ICL Plastics and indeed a large majority of the work that took place there was for ICL Technical Plastics. The offices on the floors above were used by ICL Plastics, ICL Tech and Stockline Plastics.

Stockline Plastics was a distribution company and did not manufacture anything, therefore did not require a factory. Stockline Plastics were not charged at all in relation with the incident as they had no involvement with the factory.
