North Korea: The Sangwon Cement Complex has reported that it ‘successfully fulfilled its economic plan for July 2025,’ following an overhaul of its No. 1 cement production which is reported to have increased its capacity. This includes an upgrade to the microalloying process used to cast components for the plant, which has enabled longer service life for components and reduced costs.
Local press reported that the plant was ‘intensifying the drive for increased production to send more cement to the forefronts of socialist construction.’
