Partnership with Sked and Jackson County’s DTS Industries bring critical MailSecur components into U.S. manufacturing while connecting Kentucky jobs to the fight against fentanyl and concealed contraband.
BOSTON, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RaySecur®, the leader in real-time 4D T-ray security imaging, today announced a new partnership with DTS Industries to manufacture critical mechanical components and system calibration standards for its MailSecur® concealed threat and contraband detection systems in the United States.
MailSecur® is the first desktop T-ray screening system to receive Designated Status as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security under the Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies (SAFETY) Act. MailSecur help organizations detect concealed threats, including weapons, explosives, chemical and biological agents, as well as contraband such as narcotics concealed in powders, pills, liquids, and laced or soaked onto paper.
RaySecur’s systems are deployed worldwide across Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and law enforcement and correctional facilities. In correctional environments, the technology provides a critical first-line layer of defense against fentanyl, opioids and other synthetic drugs that can be concealed in mail or laced on paper and pose serious risks to incarcerated individuals and correctional personnel.
“As a developer of national security and public safety technologies, strengthening our U.S. supply chain is a strategic priority,” said Alex Sappok, Ph.D., CEO of RaySecur. “Working with SKED allowed us to quickly identify outstanding manufacturing partners, and DTS distinguished itself through its technical capabilities. We look forward to growing together while supporting Eastern Kentucky manufacturing.”
“Eastern Kentucky continues to deliver a competitive workforce,” said Congressman Hal Rogers, founder of SKED. “I’m proud that DTS, a Jackson County company, has earned a partnership with RaySecur® to provide advanced manufacturing for this U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act designated technology. It is a testament to the skilled and determined workforce in Kentucky’s Appalachian region. Thanks to SKED’s wide-spread network across the federal, state and local levels we have more local businesses connecting with major opportunities, like this, to create jobs where we need them the most.”
The partnership was facilitated through the Southeast Kentucky Economic Development Corporation (SKED), which helped RaySecur identify and evaluate potential manufacturing partners across the region.
“We’re so thankful that the RaySecur® team reached out with a list of needs and willingness to explore. Making connections is one way we bring opportunities to Southern and Eastern Kentucky,” said Brett Traver, Executive Director of SKED. “Given the opportunity, I know our people can deliver, and this is another example.”
