Titra was founded as a subtitling company in Paris. It had offices in Manhattan where it re-recorded films for companies ranging from minor distributors to major studios. It was used by film distributors that included American International Pictures and Walter Reade Organization, favored as the dubbing company for the Godzilla franchise for release in the United States. [1]

In 1965, it was considered the largest dubbing company in the United States. [2] Titra changed its name to Titan Productions in the last 1960s or early 1970s and stopped dubbing films altogether around 1980. [1]
