Taean Friendship Glass Factory

The Taean Friendship Glass Factory, located in Taean-guyŏk, Namp'o, North Korea, is a factory producing plate glass and other glass products.

The factory, completed in 2005 with funding from the Chinese government, has a floor area of 158,000 m² (1,700,000 sq ft) on a total area of 293,000 m² (3,150,000 sq ft), and has both a pier and a railway connection. Most raw materials, such as sand, feldspar, sodium carbonate and dolomite, arrive by ship via the factory's pier from nearby sources. The rail spur from the Taean freight station located on the Korean State Railway's Taean Line, enters the factory itself, and plate glass is loaded into railcars indoors. Electricity powering the plant is supplied by the P'yŏngyang Thermal Power Plant.
