Company history

Tital was founded in 1974 by the companies WC Heraeus and Honsel. In 2006 the management took over the company and was supported by a holding company of DZ Bank from Frankfurt. The Sauerland company has been part of the American Arconic group since 2015

Investment casting using the lost wax method is used for the products .

Tital repeatedly attracted attention with its innovative and environmentally friendly processes, for example when it was funded with 850,000 euros from the Federal Environment Ministry's innovation program in February 2008. At the time, the company was planning to manufacture large components in one piece using a new casting process. In January 2010, Tital completed the initial audit as a supplier for the new Airbus A350 in just three days.
