Meridian Rapid Defense Group Launches Operations Hub in Hutto, Texas

Meridian Rapid Defense Group has established its operations hub in Hutto, Texas, aiming to enhance public safety through the design and manufacture of mobile security barriers and vehicle-rated gates. The company's products include a gate that collapses upon impact to stop vehicles, alongside mobile barriers designed for rapid deployment at outdoor events, ensuring protection against vehicles traveling at speeds up to 60 miles per hour.

This expansion is timely, as recent vehicle-ramming incidents have raised national security concerns, particularly with large-scale events on the horizon. Hutto's economic development director noted that the hub is expected to bolster the local economy as the city continues to grow, being the 13th fastest-growing city in the U.S. with ample development space.
