Email will be up shortly and by tomorrow the basic busines communications should be up and running. Thanks for your patience. Where is the Encinal peninsula? It's nice little spot bordered by Corpus Christi Bay on the north, Oso Bay on the west, the  Laguna Madre on  the east and the historic King Ranch to the south. This is one of the windiest places in South Texas. It is not unusual to find winds between 30-40mph blowing across Oso Bay and the Encinal peninsula. Despite it's wind it's also a popular area for Gulf saltwater fishing

Encinal peninsula (Flour Bluff)  is home to the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station which is responsible for Naval flight training. It is also home to the Corpus Christi Army Depot – the world’s largest military helicopter repair center. Projected Move In Date: June 1, 2009


New address:

9830 South Padre Island Drive
Corpus Christi, TX 78412

It a rugged 12,000 sf building on 2 acres of land with a side loading bay on Greenbay Drive and 60 car parking lot!

Reason for Move:

To facilitate expansion necessary to produce Titan products more efficiently and more quickly. The goal is to substantially shorten lead times in delivering orders.

Potential:

The new location will allow for future potential expansion of up to a 24,000 sf building. Our soon to be former location will serve as a warehouse.

Staff:

Titan is a proud employer of an American workforce with a multi cultural profile. Befitting a company that ships the world over, you will find staff who originally hailed from places such as Japan, Costa Rica, Mexico, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, Thailand and various states within the USA.    

Titan Support Systems is also a proud member of The Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce, The Better Business Bureau and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce]]> Pete Alaniz on Titan Tue, 26 May 2009 15:16:00 +0000 http://www.titansupport.com/blog/single-view/article/a_message_to_our_customers_and_fellow_lifters/ Dear Lifter,We’ve always considered it an honor to be able to conduct business in a sport that we...
We’ve always considered it an honor to be able to conduct business in a sport that we love. As a customer you deserve not only the best products available but the best service possible.

Innovation and Craftsmanship

Founded in 1981, Titan was built on the principles of innovation and craftsmanship. When graded on these variables, Titan rules the roost. While the others imitate, we originate.

We’re proud of the fact that we deliver innovative, world record setting products of the highest quality. However, we recognize that our weak point has been slow retail delivery times when ordering directly from Titan.

These slow delivery times pertain only when ordering directly from Titan. For quicker delivery go to our website and find a dealer in your area. They are our frontline. They consist of knowledgeable and reputable companies who can not only answer gear and training questions, but who have stock available for immediate shipment.

Commitment

It’s not enough to simply recognize a weak point. There has to be a commitment to address it. That’s why for the last 18 months we have quietly been working on our biggest project yet …a new, larger production facility.

There is one thing we refuse to do to improve delivery times and that’s to compromise on the craftsmanship of our products. Most do not realize that it takes almost 3 times longer to construct a Centurion squat suit than our competitor’s premium suits. That’s because our competitors use a traditional 3 panel suit construction while the Centurion uses our patented 11 panel construction. That’s a big difference.

Action

Based on these guiding principles, there can be only one solution and Titan has acted on it.

• We’ve purchased and remodeled a 12,000 square foot building on a 2 acre property adjacent to a state highway that provides easy access for shipping & freight companies.
• We’ve installed textile machinery to facilitate the handling and processing of a minimum of 7 tons of fabric at any one time and redesigned the factory floor to accommodate at least 50 employees.
• We’ve installed a new high speed computer network linking the production floor and the offices as well as providing external communications.

Quite simply, this is the biggest investment in Titan history. We are committed to continue bringing the lifting world the best gear ever. Now, the focus will be to make retail delivery times commensurate with the quality of our goods. A new era is at hand.

President, Titan Support Systems]]> Pete Alaniz on Titan Sat, 16 May 2009 17:06:00 +0000 http://www.titansupport.com/blog/single-view/article/super_katana_is_ready/ We’re now proud to announce that the best performing IPF approved 1-ply suit ever created for use... patented harness system is reinforced to create the strongest, most supportive single ply suit in the lifting world! Because we just don’t look for the best powerlifting materials and support systems in the world, we create them! Constructed from NXG Super Plus - the strongest, heaviest fabric in the lifting world, created by Titan specifically for powerlifting - the Centurion doesn’t pull any punches. But we didn’t stop there. We also included our patented built in harness system. The 3cm seams create an anatomically precise harness system for extra support and bigger squats. Not enough? How about state of the art, hi-tech, hi-tensile strength threads that hold incredible loads - up to 10 kg of weight per single looped thread! Then we put that thread to use by incorporating more stitching per square inch than any other suit in the lifting world. This suit’s the real deal! Backed by the most outrageous product performance guarantee in the business: 1 year on blowouts and 1 1/2 years on runners!

Available in:
Regular Stance - for narrow to moderate stance squatters
Wide Stance - for wide to extra wide stance squatters

All Super Centurion Suits Feature:

• Reinforced Patented harness system (patent #5,046,194)


• Composed of 11 different panels. When combined they form a harness system within the suit to provide more support and power than any other suit on the market. Not simply a suit with extra strips of fabric sewn on top. The sum of its parts makes the Centurion a stronger, more powerful suit!


• Features NXG Super Plus fabric. It is the heaviest, strongest fabric in the lifting world. Created exclusively by Titan. Created specifically for powerlifting. Virtually tear proof and run proof.


• Features synthetic, high tech, super high tensile strength thread. A single thread has tested to a load of 3.75 kg while a looped thread has tested to a load of 10kg! Costs up to 3 times more than regular thread!


• Entire suit is constructed using commercial satin stitching, no straight stitching on any part of the suit. This is a more costly and time consuming process, but performance and durability are our first priority


• Features more thread than any other suit in the lifting world. Every suit uses an average of 8,448cm per suit. That's 3,326 inches or 277 feet of thread. Nearly the length of an American football field! Over the course of a production year that really adds up. In 2008, Titan used over 6,000,000 yards of thread. That's over 3,400 miles!


• Takes up to 6 times longer to construct than a conventional pattern suit ...a devotion to craftsmanship, not mass production.


• Backed by the most outrageous product performance guarantee in the business: 2 year on blowouts and 1 1/2 years on runners!


• Used by the majority of champions in international competitions worldwide

Used by some of the greatest squatters in history such as Jaroslaw Olech,
Vladimir Bondarenko, Ravil Kazakov, Maxim Barkhatov, Sergiy Fedesienko, Ivan
Freydun, Daisuke Midote, Andrey Tarasenko, Andrey Belyaev,Konstantin Pavlov, Tsung-Ting Hsieh, Peter Theuser, Ove Lehto, Jari Martikainen.]]> New Titan Products Sat, 18 Apr 2009 17:00:00 +0000 http://www.titansupport.com/blog/single-view/article/arched_benchers_rejoice_super_katana_as_is_here/ The Super Katana A/S for arched benchers features our improved IPF approved collar design.

The new lower cut neck reduces likelihood of the shirt riding up and putting pressure on the neck while the increased width and thickness of the collar acts as an energy band to create more resistance and store more energy than regular Katana's. These two simple changes produce a huge improvement in performance.Rounding out the Super Katana is our patent pending torque sleeve design combined with our new NXG Super Plus material. This new material is 26% thicker and stronger than the older NXG+ material. The result is double-ply type power from a single-ply IPF approved shirt. The Katana will take your benches to new heights! The Super Katana A/S for arched benchers is backed by an unmatched guarantee that’s as tough as you are: 2 years blowout plus an 18 month "No Run" guarantee!
