Renamed Factory

In August 2014 Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un inspected the then Taedonggang Tile Factory. (During his previous inspection of the factory in September 2012, the Supreme Leader referred to it as a smart and praiseworthy factory.) Now he congratulated the factory for having sent a lot of tiles to the major construction sites while overfulfilling its annual production plan for two years.

And he said that he decided to rename the factory Chollima Tile Factory to the effect that it is located in Kangson, the birthplace of Chollima, and that the new name reflected the Party’s belief that the factory would be in the van of the struggle to bring about a great heyday of construction by fully displaying the spirit of Chollima. Referring to quality of tiles as the key factor in defining the quality of architectural structures and the latter as a criterion for evaluating a country’s level of civilization, he said that the factory should set a higher goal for the purpose of raising the quality of its products up to the world level and strive hard to attain the goal.

Looking round adhesive and tile production workshops, a digital colour spray printing room and so on to get familiar in detail with production and development of new products, he gave important instructions the factory would have to adhere to in its activities. He also gave an important instruction on making the factory become the first model of a digital factory.
