Titan Homes is not just a name in the manufactured housing industry; it’s a symbol of resilience and innovation. This leading manufacturer of high-quality, affordable housing has recently demonstrated an extraordinary level of community spirit and determination in the face of adversity. after eight months , a devastating fire tore through Titan Homes’ factory in Sangerfield, NY, leaving behind ruins and uncertainty. But rather than succumbing to despair, Titan Homes embarked on a remarkable journey of rebuilding—one that has not only restored what was lost but has also set a new standard for resilience in the industry.
A Triumph Over Adversity
The fire that destroyed the Sangerfield factory was a catastrophic event, but it was also a turning point for Titan Homes. In the immediate aftermath, the company made a bold commitment: they would retain their nearly 200 employees on full payroll and with benefits throughout the rebuilding process. This decision, rooted in a deep sense of responsibility to their workforce, reflects the very essence of PLACE’s mission—to foster community, protect livelihoods, and promote sustainable development.
“It’s been a tough, hard experience, but we’re coming out better off than we were,” says Jack Ireton-Hewitt, the general manager of Titan Homes. His words capture the spirit of determination that drove the company forward. Today, Titan Homes has not only reopened but has done so with a facility that is 40% larger and equipped with the latest technology. This expansion has not only boosted employee morale but has also significantly enhanced the company’s production capacity, allowing them to meet growing demand more efficiently than ever before.
