Morphology
The meaning 'a factory or facility where products are made' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'manufacturing' (production of goods) with 'plant' (an industrial building or complex). This is a compositional noun–noun combination that is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase manufacturing plant links manufacturing meaning 'making things' and plant meaning 'a place set up for work'. Think of a garden where you plant and grow things; that picture helps explain why a manufacturing plant is a place where products are made on a large scale.
