KYIV. May 4  (Interfax-Ukraine) – Zaporizhia Titanium and Magnesium Combine LLC has become a supplier of titanium sponge to Italy’s TiFast S.r.l., a titanium products manufacturer.

The Ukrainian enterprise said in a press release on Thursday that TiFast specialists performed an audit of the combine and the enterprise also obtained the EN 9100 aerospace industry standard certificate.

TiFast has been operating on the market for over 10 years and it is a large player on the European titanium market. The company’s core business is production of ingots, slabs and bars made of titanium and its alloys. TiFast is a member of the International Titanium Association. The Italian manufacture has the UNI EN ISO 9001 certificate permitting supply of products for bio-medical and aerospace industries.

“TiFast for Zaporizhia Titanium and Magnesium Combine is a second global company after China’s BaoTi that confirmed that the quality of titanium sponge of the enterprise fully meets international requirements. This means that the Zaporizhia enterprise’s products could be used without restrictions in production of any goods, including bio-medical and aerospace products,” Zaporizhia Titanium and Magnesium Combine Director Volodymyr Sivak said.

Zaporizhia Titanium and Magnesium Combine in August 2015 received an EN 9100:2009 standard certificate from Bureau Veritas. This helped the enterprise to register its products in the Online Aerospace Supplier Information System (OASIS). The enterprise started performing audits by global titanium goods manufacturers.
