History

The plant was established in 1914 as the Tsaritsyn Weapons Factory, and renamed Red Barricades after the Russian Revolution.[3] It was for a time the largest munition factory in Europe.[3] Titan had its origins as the factory's design bureau.[4] The factory was overrun during Operation Barbarossa, but resumed production in 1944.[4] The Titan Design Bureau was separated from the factory in 1990.[4]
