THE TITAN MISSION
. . . In a word, it’s QUALITY.
“We believe QUALITY is imperative not only in manufacturing, but throughout the entire company.
Through our commitment to providing customers with quality products, service, design, innovation,
manufacture, testing and inspection, we have become and will remain a world leader
in the development of corrosion resistant equipment.”
TITAN Metal Fabricators, Inc. designs, fabricates and repairs corrosion resistant equipment fabricated with TAN-
TALUM, NIOBIUM, ZIRCONIUM, TITANIUM and the NICKEL ALLOYS. Our corporate offices and 21,000-square-foot
manufacturing headquarters are located just off Pacific Coast Highway in Oxnard, California—within an easy
drive of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and with complete access to the Port of Los Angeles and
Port Hueneme to facilitate international ocean freight.
