Statement on the Closure of Titan Support Systems
We are saddened to learn of the closure of Titan Support Systems. Titan has been an IPF partner since 1984 and was one of the first major financial sponsors that allowed the IPF to hold their early world championships.
Titan was a fundamental part of shaping powerlifting as we know it, particularly in the equipped discipline. We acknowledge their incredible support and deep impact to the IPF and its regions over four decades. Their closure is a sad day for powerlifting as a whole.
We understand that athletes are now facing some uncertainty over the future status of Titan apparel and equipment, as the current approved list ends on 31st December 2026. We would like to reassure the community that we will allow the use of Titan equipment up to 31st December 2027 as an interim step.
We are currently in consultation for a possible further extension after this time. We will announce any future extension as soon as it has been approved.
Please note that the exception to this is the Titan Knee Sleeves (TKS) 7 mm which will still be removed from the list on 31st December 2026 as previously stated.
We would like to offer our sincere thanks to Titan Support Systems on behalf of the IPF and its regions for their outstanding support and contribution to the sport of powerlifting.
