Tri-City Area and Real Estate Blog

The Kennewick-based company, TiSport, is making a move to Pasco soon and will occupy the former Food Pavillion off Court Street. TiSport is a company that manufactures titanium athletic equipment and titanium wheelchairs. The company is a spin-off from Sandvik Metals, has about 120 employees, and are currently are housed at the Port of Kennewick Oak Street Industrial park; however, they are cramped for room and this new facility will afford them about 67,000 square feet which is 27,000 more than their current location.

A Kennewick company, TiLite, is making an appearance on the national TV show “Extreme Makeover, Home Edition” this Sunday, by way of donating a specialized wheelchair to a wounded Veteran who is the recipient of the makeover.

TiLite is a firm that builds titanium and aluminum wheelchairs and when contacted by the ABC producers, they were happy to build the custom chair for the Veteran, who is also a wheelchair athlete and mentor to disabled Iraqi and Afghanistan Veterans.

TiLite is an important manufacturer here in the Tri-Cities and their generosity will certainly give them some extra recognition in the U.S. and abroad from this national exposure.

We are so proud to have these types of individuals and their company as representatives of the Tri-Cities. They show all that’s good about the Tri-Cities, Washington.
