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]
