Don Taylor, CEO of Titan commented: “Graphite is a critical material, yet the U.S. has gone decades without domestic production. The current resource outlined at Kilbourne represents only 8,300 ft of strike length tested of a known total strike length of 25,000 ft. Kilbourne has significant resource expansion potential to meet the demands of U.S. natural flake graphite over a long-term period. Our facility is a major step toward restoring U.S. industrial graphite capability and delivering a fully Made in America natural graphite product in 2025.”
Rita Adiani, President of Titan commented: “With escalating tariffs on imports and tightening trade restrictions globally, Titan is uniquely positioned to offer secure, tariff-free, U.S.-produced graphite to industrial markets. By investing in U.S.-sourced equipment, leveraging existing infrastructure, and maintaining a skilled domestic workforce, Titan provides customers with a reliable alternative amidst growing supply chain uncertainty.”
