About the owner: TITAN
TITAN is a publicly listed company headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, founded in 1902. Brandtree records 5 brands under its control, and it is listed as Euronext Brussels: TITC, Athens Exchange: TITC and Euronext Paris: TITC.
TITAN was founded in 1902 with the opening of its first cement plant in Elefsina, Greece, and listed on the Athens Stock Exchange in 1912. In 2019 the Belgium-incorporated TITAN Cement International S.A. became the Group's parent company, listed on Euronext Brussels (its primary listing), Euronext Paris and the Athens Exchange under the ticker TITC. Its US business, Titan America SA, IPO'd 9,000,000 new shares on the New York Stock Exchange (ticker TTAM) in February 2025 alongside a secondary sale of 15,000,000 existing shares by TITAN Cement International; at the close of that offering TITAN Cement International retained 160,362,465 common shares of Titan America, 87% of the total outstanding. This is not the same company as Titan Company Limited, the Indian watches, jewellery and eyewear maker listed on the NSE as TITAN — that is an unrelated Tata Group-affiliated business already seeded in this dataset as titan-company.
