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

Four brother factories

According to North Korean media, along with Taean Heavy Machine Complex, Chollima Steel Complex and Kumsong Tractor Factory, the factory is a member of the "four brother factories(네형제공장,Nehyongjegongjang)" and is reported to engage in "Socialist competitions" between the companies that are held every year in the country.[4]

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

Sinnamp'o railway station, but this had been abandoned by 1971.[5] In 2002 the decision was made to reopen the factory, and in 2010 the new plant was opened,[5] located on a site near the Namp'o Shipyard. According to a KCNA report, the production process was modernised in 2012.[6] Raw materials (sand) are brought from Monggŭmp'o near Changyŏn (terminus of the Changyŏn railway line) and from Kŭmip'o, both in Ryongyŏn County.[5]

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