Its builders successfully carried out the plan of the Central Committee of the WPK, he added.

    He said that the factory has perfect computer-aided integrated production system, is equipped with latest facilities and fitted with cooling and heating system depending on geothermal power, thereby emerging an industrial establishment put on an IT and digital basis and becoming an energy-saving one.
