Osaka Titanium Technologies Co., Ltd. (大阪チタニウムテクノロジーズ, Ōsaka Chitaniumu Tekunorojīzu Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese non-ferrous metal manufacturing company based in Amagasaki, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. It is the world's second largest producer of titanium sponge[5] after VSMPO-Avisma.[6]

It produces titanium products using the Kroll process,[7] and also produces silicon products.[8]

In 2010, increased demand for titanium led to increased supply capacity,[9] but Osaka Titanium Technologies was still able to raise prices due to continuing strong demand from the aviation industry.[10]

The company is part of the Sumitomo Group, one of the largest Japanese keiretsu.
