The Sixth Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea assigned the Ryongsong Machine Complex the task of producing custom-built equipment badly needed for the key industrial sectors.

Its officials are scrupulously organizing and commanding the production of custom-built equipment.

The complex focuses on expanding the casting production capacity, shortening the overall processing time of material to the maximum and fully ensuring the quality of custom-built equipment.

It also gives priority to the supply of alloy steel and major raw and other materials in close contact with the relevant units.

Steel casting workshop No. 1 finished the repair of an electric furnace with large capacity in a matter of ten days. It pushes ahead with the processing of a material essential for producing important parts at 50 percent level.

The Songun iron casting plant strives to increase the production of castings and steel casting workshop No. 2 is shortening the production cycle of steel castings by more than half.

Machine workshop No. 1 and the large machine-tool workshop are working hard to increase the machining accuracy of their products. They are now registering good production results, several times higher than the same period of last year.

Innovations have been witnessed in the production of custom-built equipment thanks to the untiring efforts of workers, technicians and officials of the complex.
