Titan Plant Phasing Out At West Congress Street
Titan Fabricating Plant on West Congress street will be phased out this week with Allied Engineering moving all fabrication to the Tucson base in Los Angeles. The facility, once key for heavy steel doors and cableways for Titan missile silos, faced prior controversy after Idaho Maryland Industries bankruptcy. Allied, headquartered in South Gate, Calif., took over Feb 28, employing up to 145, now 125, with work shifting to Los Angeles and Tucson personnel relocated to support the phaseout within two to three weeks.
