Merited Technician
So Sung Gwan, Merited Technician at the Taean Heavy Machine Complex, has made a tangible contribution for over three decades to the production of power generating equipment of national significance and other important equipment badly needed in different fields of the national economy.
He has always made painstaking efforts for his study and research at workshop. He invented valuable and rational technical innovation plans, including the methods to improve the quality of large-size steel castings and mould the hydraulic turbine blade, and introduced them into production, thus contributing to ensuring the quality and delivery time of ordered equipment needed across the country.
In recent ten years alone, he made over 20 valuable sci-tech achievements to bring a great profit to the state. His inventions were highly appreciated in national exhibitions and sci-tech festivals several times. He was honoured with the Best Inventor Prize in 2022 and the title of Merited Technician in March this year.

Merited coal miner
Several decades ago, Kim Yong Hun volunteered to do difficult and labour-consuming jobs at the Samchong Mine under the Sangwon Cement Complex in response to the call of the Workers’ Party of Korea.
He started his career as a tunnelling worker. He had much trouble at first for lack of experience, but he began to win distinction as an innovator who fulfilled his daily plan without fail. Thanks to the trust of the collective, he was promoted to a subworkteam leader, workteam leader and manager of Pit No. 3.
In those years, he received state commendations several times.
He made assiduous efforts to improve the level of technical skills of miners while pushing ahead with production and pit construction simultaneously, with the result that he trained dozens of skilled workers and carried out annual production plans without fail.
In 2015 in particular, he made a tangible contribution to exceeding the peak-year level of the complex by making endeavours for producing thousand tons of more cement.
He was honoured with the title of Merited Coal Miner in February 2016.
