The products of the Kyongam Tile Factory are enjoying popularity among local customers.

It is a regional building-materials production base equipped with modern processes capable of producing high-quality tiles for inner and outer walls with locally-abundant raw materials. It contributes to rural and housing construction in North Hwanghae Province as well as major construction projects. 

“People call our factory a ‘treasure factory’ that propels regional construction,” said Yun Kwang Ho, an official of the factory.

According to him, all the raw materials used in the production of tiles are supplied from the city of Sariwon, where the factory is located, and other places within the province, and all the material reserves have been newly discovered.

Therefore, the factory has laid a firm foundation for normalizing production unhampered by any shortage of raw materials.

True to the intention of the Workers’ Party of Korea on ensuring self-sufficiency in finishing building materials and diversifying the production of building materials in kind, form and colour, the factory has organized economic work scrupulously to make effective use of the advanced production processes.

The factory’s tiles were used in the finishing work of the recently built Sariwon Schoolchildren’s Palace.

Its tiles are popular not only for their good quality but also for the beautiful patterns and colours.

It turns out coloured tiles in various patterns and shapes.

It also makes special tiles to meet the requirements of customers. For instance, the decorative wall tiles painted with famous mountains and scenic spots of the country and beautiful birds, fishes and fruits have high ornamental value in interior design.

“I fitted tiles depicting a water tank on the walls of the bathroom, those depicting fruits on the kitchen walls and those depicting famous mountains and scenic spots in the hallway. It really added charm to the home environment and all my family like it very much,” said Kim Ok Sim living in Wonju-dong, Sariwon. 

The officials and employees of the factory keep working hard to improve the quality of tiles and increase their kinds and output so as to help ensure a more improved cultural life of the people and the gigantic construction for regional development.
