A business that specializes in space testing and radiation is coming to Taylor in 2027, according to the Taylor Economic Development Corp.
Melagen Labs announced Thursday a $4.5 million economic development performance agreement with the Taylor EDC to establish a state-of-the-art radiation testing and qualification center in Taylor. The facility will be among the first privately operated, commercial-grade gamma irradiation facilities in Texas and one of the most significant additions to U.S. radiation testing infrastructure in years.
Construction begins in 2026, with testing operations targeted to start in 2027. This facility is the foundation for the full stack radiation shielding platform that Melagen Labs is building to serve the full breadth of America's aerospace, defense and advanced electronics industries.
