Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Provides Update on the Monster Silk(TM) Pilot Production Program’s Second Stage; Program is Accomplishing Its Targeted Milestones and Remains Well Ahead of Schedule

LANSING, Mich., Feb. 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB:KBLB) (the “Company” or “Kraig”), the leading developer of advanced spider silk based fiber technologies, announced today that the first two stages of its Monster Silk™ pilot production program (“program”) are running ahead of schedule and that both stages of the program are on track to meet or exceed the program’s goals.

The production capacity for the first two stages exceeds the Company’s prior maximum capacities by a factor of four or five.

The program is designed to be the basis of the Company’s large scale commercial production of its recombinant spider silks. The program is designed to run in three stages; with each successive stage launching when the previous stage’s data indicates that the program is reaching, or exceeding, its benchmarks.

The current data supports the continued fast-tracking of the program, as the second phase is developing on track, surpassing the trial’s initial phase in terms of capacity and success rates. The first stage continues to run ahead of expectations and is already moving to an advanced state.

“So far the pilot production program has exceeded our expectations and is confirming that our production model is fully scalable, as Phase II surpassed the program’s first phase, despite the fact that it’s a much larger trial,” said Kraig founder and CEO, Kim Thompson. “From the beginning, this has been an ambitious program, which now appears to be rewarding our efforts. We are continuing to rapidly advance through stage two of the production program.”

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories and SSM Industries Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Jointly Commercialize Recombinant Spider Silk

LANSING, MI, Feb. 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Kraig”) and SSM Industries, Inc. (“SSM”) jointly announced today that they have signed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) to jointly commercialize Kraig’s Monster Silk™ recombinant spider silk.

The purpose of the MOU is to develop a framework for cooperation between SSM and Kraig regarding spider silk commercialization and marketing. The parties anticipate collaborating to develop knitted and woven textiles utilizing Monster Silk™ and possibly other recombinant spider silks, which have been developed by Kraig or which are in its development pipeline.

The collaborative work would extend to product applications’ development and marketing. Under the MOU the two companies would jointly develop select applications, for Monster Silk™ and other recombinant spider silks which have been developed by Kraig. This alliance is intended to support the market development for spider silk based textiles.

“SSM Industries, Inc. is an American company with a proven track record of innovation and excellence in technical textiles and protective apparel, so we are delighted to be working with them,” said Kraig CEO and founder, Kim Thompson. “Today’s memorandum of understanding allows us to work toward combining the capabilities of both companies in pursuing markets for knitted and woven applications of spider silk.

“This MOU is a big step forward in moving our spider silk products from the laboratory and toward meeting the increasing demand for innovative high strength materials, technical textiles and protective composites. I believe that it greatly accelerates Kraig’s access to critical protective clothing and technical markets.

“This collaboration with a technical textile innovator marks a major milestone toward bringing Kraig Biocraft Laboratories’ genetically engineered spider silks to mainstream markets in commercial volume,” concluded Thompson.

“We are very happy to enter into co-operation between Kraig Labs and SSM Industries for developing the markets and product applications for spider silks, especially in regard to life & limb protective gear, apparel and composites,” said SSM spokesman Phil Chandler.

“Both parties acknowledge the potential of working together to develop and promote recombinant spider silk related textiles and product applications,” continued Mr. Chandler. “I believe the signing of the MOU between our companies marks a starting point for the development of significant markets for spider silk technologies. We are excited to be at the ground floor as we work together with Kraig to develop and grow this market segment. This new relationship demonstrates SSM Industries commitment to unlocking markets and developing innovative solutions that benefit our world and satisfy global demand.”

The parties caution that while the MOU is a major step toward a binding agreement, it should not be relied upon as a guarantee that a binding agreement will be completed.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories is in discussions with other companies to complete a consortium to drive the penetration of its recombinant spider silks into global markets.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories’ Monster Silk(TM) Pilot Production Program Enters Second Stage Ahead of Schedule

LANSING, Mich., Feb. 4, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (KBLB) (the “Company” or “Kraig”) announced today that it is accelerating its pilot production program, as a result of positive initial data from the first stage of the trial.

The acceleration to the second phase of the program is designed to increase production capacity of Monster Silk™, the Company’s recombinant spider silk, by more than tenfold over the first stage. Kraig’s strategy calls on further accelerating the production program by initiating a third stage, if the program continues to meet its targets.

The first phase of the pilot production program for Monster Silk™ is continuing, even as phase two is being launched. The purpose of the program is to verify scalability and favorable production economics of Monster Silk™, to significantly increase production, and to form the basis of large scale commercial production of the Company’s recombinant spider silks.

“The initial success of the first stage has given us the confidence to accelerate the program,” said Kraig founder and CEO, Kim Thompson. “We are now well ahead of the schedule that we envisioned even a few weeks ago. This is a critical step forward in the commercializing of our laboratory discoveries. The launching of stage two, which I view as the heart of the pilot production program, is the most exciting and momentous event in the Company’s history, second only to our invention of Monster Silk™.”
