How much do you know about the world's' titanium giants'?

In the 1st century, due to the important role of titanium in industrial production, every country vigorously developed its own titanium industry. We know that China's titanium industry started relatively late, and many production lines were introduced from major "titanium giants" abroad.
So, what are the "titanium giants" in the world today? How much do you all know? Today, Xiaozhi will take stock of it~
Salda Metallurgical Production Association Avisma Group
VSMPO-AVISMA, the Salda Metallurgical Production Association, is the world's largest manufacturer of titanium and titanium alloy products, and a major titanium supplier to Airbus, a global commercial aircraft manufacturer. Its predecessor was Russia's Upper Salda Metallurgical Production Joint Company and Avisma Titanium Magnesium Joint Enterprise Co., Ltd.
The history of the Upper Salda Metallurgical Production Joint Company can be traced back to 1933, with its predecessor being the Moscow 45th Factory established on July 1, 1933, located in the outskirts of Moscow. Since its inception, it has shouldered the heavy responsibility of industrial research and trial production in the field of materials, serving as an experimental base for Soviet military materials. In the 1960s to 1980s, driven by the Soviet military industry, the company's titanium production capacity and output rapidly increased, with an annual output of 110000 tons of titanium ingots and 60000 tons of titanium materials. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the company began to shift its sales targets to Boeing in the United States and Airbus in Europe, becoming one of the main suppliers for these two airlines.
Avismar Titanium Magnesium Joint Enterprise Co., Ltd. was formerly known as the Podolsk Chemical Metallurgy Plant. In 1954, it produced * batches of metallic titanium, and in 1959, it built a sponge titanium production workshop. In 1960, it produced the first batch of sponge titanium.
In 2005, under the leadership of the Russian government, the two companies merged and established VSMPO-AVISMA, becoming the world's largest titanium metallurgy processing joint venture.
American Titanium Corporation
Timet, founded in 1950 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is the world's leading producer of titanium melt and roll products, as well as the largest producer of sponge titanium in the United States.
Timet has production plants in the world's major titanium consumer markets - the United States and Europe. And in 2002, a new department - Automotive Titanium Division was established. The product is mainly used in aerospace, and its main sales targets are Boeing, Rolls Royce, and others.
Japanese titanium company
TOHO TITANIUM CO. LTD was jointly established in 1953 by Nippon Mining Corporation (now Shin Nippon Mining Holdings Group), Osaka Special Steel Institute (now Osaka Titanium Technology Company), and Price Corporation (now Mitsui&Co.).
Toho Titanium built a sponge titanium factory (with an annual production capacity of 240t/a) in Maozaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture in 1954. It began producing titanium ingots (120t/a) in 1960 and high-purity titanium oxide in 1970. With the expansion of production capacity, Dongbang's sponge titanium production has rapidly increased in recent years. In 2010, 14800 tons of sponge titanium were produced, reaching 22800 tons in 2011.
Nippon Steel Corporation (abbreviated as Nippon Steel) is the world's largest steel production enterprise and also the world's largest titanium material production enterprise. Nippon Steel Corporation was founded in 1934 and dissolved in 1950. Nippon Steel Corporation was established in 1970. Nippon Steel has been engaged in the production of titanium materials since 1984, utilizing its steel production equipment and technology. The company does not have its own titanium melting system and mainly engages in the production of pure titanium plates and their products by purchasing titanium ingots or slabs externally.
Nippon Steel has achieved significant success in promoting titanium for civilian use: in 1997, it provided titanium steel composite panels for the Tokyo Bay Bridge in Japan; In 1999, titanium materials were provided for the Shimane Prefectural Art Museum, a large building in Japan; The muffler produced by Nippon Steel in 2002 was applied to Nissan Motor Corporation's cars; Provided colored titanium materials to Spanish wineries in 2004; In 2006, titanium materials were provided to the National Centre for the Performing Arts in China, Hangzhou Grand Theatre, Taipei Arena in China, and the Treasure Gate of Asakusa Temple in Japan. Its ultra deep drawing titanium material has been applied in Sony electronic products; In 2008, its titanium sheet was applied in cameras.
Baotai Group
Baotai Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as Baotai Group) was founded in 1965. It is a key national enterprise invested and built under the project code "902" during the "Three Five Year Plan" period to meet the needs of national defense, military industry, and scientific and technological development. Originally named 902 Factory, it was renamed Baoji Colored Metal Processing Factory in 1972. In 2005, in order to establish a modern enterprise system and streamline state-owned asset management relationships, the factory was restructured as Baotai Group Co., Ltd.
Baotai Group is a specialized research and production base for rare metal materials, mainly titanium and titanium alloys, with strong strength and complete system in China.
