# Titan-Barrikady

Titan-Barrikady (Russian: Титан-Баррикады) 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. It is a subsidiary of the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology.

## History

The plant was established in 1914 as the Tsaritsyn Weapons Factory, and renamed Red Barricades after the Russian Revolution. It was for a time the largest munition factory in Europe. Titan had its origins as the factory's design bureau.

The factory was overrun and destroyed by the Germans in 1942 during the Battle of Stalingrad, but resumed production in 1944.

In 1975 the plant was selected to manufacture the gun and mount for the 2S7 Pion.

The Titan Design Bureau was separated from the factory in 1990.
