The Sariwon Tractor Parts Factory has been updated.

"The updating of our factory has laid a solid foundation for supplying more farm machine parts of various kinds to farms in the province," said Kim Yong Ho, chief engineer of the factory.

According to him, the factory was built after the end of the Fatherland Liberation War in the 1950s and has the longest history among similar factories in the country.

Even during the fierce war, President Kim Il Sung said that after the victory in the war, we would have to restore the devastated farmlands so as to solve the problem of food for the people, and gave instructions to build a tractor repair shop in Sariwon. On October 30 1952, when the war was at its height, he saw to it that a Cabinet decision on building the Sariwon Tractor Repair Shop was adopted.

Thus it was founded as the Sariwon Tractor Repair Shop on November 16 1957, four years after the war, and renamed the Sariwon Tractor Parts Factory in 1965.

The factory has made a positive contribution to the full operation of farm machines in the socialist countryside while fully supplying tractor parts to the rural areas of the province.

The factory went back into operation on December 20 last year after updating its equipment and production processes as required by the reality in which the programme for the rural revolution in the new era is being vigorously implemented.

The factory is equipped with modern machines and facilities including CNC machines.

According to Section Chief Pak Sung Ik, the updating of the factory has made it possible to produce a lot of tractor parts including engine block, crankshaft and cylinder liner.

The factory pushed ahead with the work to make its employees become conversant with modern processing facilities along with the updating project and thus it has normalized production since it resumed operation.
