Titan-Barrikady (Template:Lang-ru) is a military-industrial company based in Volgograd, Russia. It was formed in 1914, after the merger between the Barrikady Production Association and the Titan Design Bureau.[1] It is a subsidiary of the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology.[2]
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 overran during Operation Barbarossa, but resumed production in 1944.[4] The Titan Design Bureau was separated from the factory in 1990.[4]
