Taegwan Glass Factory
The North Korean News Service, known as KCNA, reported that Kim was accompanied by his heir apparent, Kim Jong Un to this factory (though the young Kim does not appear in this photo). The report relates that this plant has been successfully put on a "computer-numeric controlled (CNC) system." The news service has previously tied the CNC technology to Kim Jong Un.
