Titan operates in the chemicals, metallurgy and agroindustry sectors and ranks among Russia's hundred largest private companies.
The planned plant complex counts as a key project in the development of plants for the manufacture of amino-acids in Russia. The intention is also to produce vitamins, organic acids, biologically active additives and pesticides. A complex for the production of biopolymers is also on the cards.
