The Taean Friendship Glass Factory, located in Taean-guyŏk, Namp'o, North Korea, is a factory producing plate glass and other glass products.[1]

The factory, completed in 2005 with funding from the Chinese government,[1] 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.[2] Most raw materials, such as sand, feldspar, sodium carbonate and dolomite, arrive by ship via the factory's pier from nearby sources.[1] The rail spur from the Taean freight station located on the Korean State Railway's Taean Line,[3] enters the factory itself, and plate glass is loaded into railcars indoors.[1] Electricity powering the plant is supplied by the P'yŏngyang Thermal Power Plant.[2]

Namp'o Glass Bottle Factory

The Namp'o Glass Bottle Factory (남포유리병공장, Namp'o Yuribyŏng Kongjang), a subsidiary of the Taean Friendship Glass Factory, is a factory producing bottles and glassware in Namp'o, North Korea. The factory was originally located immediately adjacent to Sinnamp'o railway station, but this had been abandoned by 1971.[4] In 2002 the decision was made to reopen the factory, and in 2010 the new plant was opened,[4] located on a site near the Namp'o Shipyard. According to a KCNA report, the production process was modernised in 2012.[5] Raw materials (sand) are brought from Monggŭmp'o near Changyŏn (terminus of the Changyŏn railway line) and from Kŭmip'o, both in Ryongyŏn County.[4]

The facility is served by the Korean State Railway via the Namp'ohang Branch of the P'yŏngnam Line.
