Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Introduces New, Enhanced Line of Dragon Silk Silkworms for Commercial Production

Ann Arbor, MI – July 6, 2022– Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company” or “Kraig Labs”), the biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of spider silk, announces that it has produced several new lines of larger hybrid Dragon SilkTM silkworms for its production operations in Vietnam. These new breeds of silkworms were explicitly created for large-scale production. 

With a larger cocoon and longer silk filament, these optimized Dragon Silk breeds reduce production costs and increase throughput.

The new breeds were created using a process of hybridization, combining the best properties of Dragon Silk with the best practices in silkworm breeding to improve the size and robustness of the silkworm strain. Commonly used in commercial mundane silk production, the process of creating these production hybrid silkworms delivers between 30-100% larger silk cocoons than non-hybridized silkworms.

The Company first began the development of large cocoon hybrids in 2018. The success of that effort is the foundation of today’s announcement and the rollout of this technology into production. Commercializing this technology required the Company to develop multiple strains of Dragon Silk hybrids that, when paired together, deliver a consistent and scalable large cocoon production platform.

“The hybridization program was a key part of the Company’s technology roadmap and something our R&D team has been quietly working on behind the scenes,” said Company COO Jon Rice. “Today, we announce that this technology is in the factory. This technology will lower our operating costs from rearing all the way through silk reeling and spinning. Over the coming months, our production team will transition egg production to this new, larger Dragon Silk line.”

Accelerating the transition of these new larger breeds of Dragon Silk to production was driven by the Company’s success with 3rd party contract production and our rapidly growing demand for increased quantities of Dragon Silk.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Enters Biomedical Field with First Sample Shipments of Fibers and Fabrics for Tissue Engineering

ANN ARBOR, Mich., – May 17, 2022– Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company” or “Kraig Labs”), the biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of spider silk, announces the first sample shipment of its recombinant spider silk fibers and fabrics for use and evaluation into a range of biomedical applications. This shipment was made in response to the significant increase in the requests for its propriety spider silk technology, over the last two quarters, for tissue engineering applications.

Aided by its unique blend of mechanical and chemical properties, spider silk has long been recognized as an ideal natural biomaterial. As a lightweight, biocompatible, and biodegradable material, spider silk applications have been tested in numerous morphologies, including; fibers, films, hydrogels, non-woven fabrics, foams, etc. While the first known cases of sutures made from spider silk date back to the 18th century, limitations in the production and costs of spider silk have prevented its broad adoption.

Kraig Labs’ revolutionary approach, creating recombinant spider silk technology utilizing genetically enhanced silkworms, unlocks the door for large-scale adoption of spider silk for biomedical applications. This system merges the performance of spider silk with the well-established, large-scale supply chain for mundane silk.

With the growth of its production operations in Vietnam over the last two quarters, the Company is now positioned to allot a portion of its spider silk production to address the medical community’s needs. This week’s shipments are just the first in what the Company hopes will be a significant mid to long-term market growth opportunity for Kraig Labs and its foray into the growing field of bioengineering.

“Over the last month, we have seen a significant increase in the demand from the medical field for our spider silk fibers and fabrics,” said COO, Jon Rice. “With the great work our team in Vietnam has done, increasing monthly silk production, we are now positioned to begin supplying R&D samples for this new and exciting end market. As these applications often require FDA approval, we believe the biomedical space has the potential to play an important role in the Company’s long-term growth. Over the coming months, we will be closely monitoring the results of these first tests and assessing additional opportunities for the spider silk gels and films that we have already developed into the broad field of biomaterials.”

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Prepares to Ship Finished Dragon Silk Yarn From Vietnam Factory

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company” or “Kraig Labs”), the biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of spider silk, announces it has completed production of the first Dragon Silk yarn produced entirely in Vietnam. The finished recombinant spider silk yarn was spun from raw spider silk produced at Prodigy Textiles, the Company’s subsidiary located in Quang Nam province, Vietnam.

Today’s announcement marks a significant milestone for Kraig Labs, Prodigy Textiles, and the large-scale production of recombinant spider silk. This production run of Dragon Silk exhibits Prodigy Textiles’ full integration into Vietnam’s substantial silk textile industry. Vietnam produced nearly 1,000 metric tons of mundane silk in 2020.1   This same supply chain was used, from start to finish, to create the first Dragon Silk made entirely in Vietnam.

While Prodigy Textiles remains focused on ramping up the output of recombinant spider silk cocoons, these supporting vendors will play an essential role in processing that silk into finished goods for a wide range of consumer markets.

The Company plans to ship this Dragon Silk yarn to SpydaSilk Enterprises, in Singapore, a joint venture partially owned by the Company, for weaving into fabrics and finished garments.  

Over the coming months, Prodigy will continue to leverage this expanded silk production success to address the material needs of SpydaSilk and make additional materials available for purchase to fill the numerous and backlogged material requests it has received.

“The successful completing of this Dragon Silk yarn produced entirely utilizing the Vietnamese supply chain is a substantial achievement for the Kraig Labs and our vision for eco-responsible and cost-effective spider silk,” said COO Jon Rice. “I am extremely proud of the team at Prodigy for achieving this major milestone, while overcoming several obstacles to get this done as quickly as they did. 2022 is positioned to be a breakout year for the commercial sales of Dragon Silk and our broader recombinant spider silk technologies.”

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Receives Equipment for Onsite Testing and Screening of Transgenic Technology at Prodigy Textiles

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company” or “Kraig Labs”), the biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of spider silk, announces it has taken delivery of key lab equipment to Prodigy Textiles, the Company’s Vietnam based subsidiary, to support onsite testing and screening of spider silk transgenic technologies.

Over the next few weeks, the Company’s US-based research team will work closely with the Prodigy team to complete equipment installation and conduct training. Once online, this equipment will allow for the complete transfer of all genetic screening and selection testing, for production operations, to Prodigy’s onsite lab.

The significance of this advancement in the Company’s production operation cannot be overstated. Previously all genetic testing was limited to Kraig Labs US R&D headquarters. COVID-related transportation and shipping restrictions over the last 24 months have meant that critical testing was delayed and, in some cases, not possible. This, in turn, forced the Company to lower its output at Prodigy to ensure production quality. With onsite process screening, Prodigy will be able to safely and effectively scale up operations and take full advantage of Prodigy’s new facilities. The goal is to run at maximum facility capacity consistently.

Implementing in-process quality testing is yet another example of the Company’s efforts to build a completely autonomous production operation at Prodigy Textiles. The Company believes that, in blending the most advanced technologies available with the rich history of silk production in Vietnam, it is building an advanced scalable system for large-scale recombinant spider silk production.

“Once online, this equipment will allow our production team to floor the gas pedal on production,” said COO Jon Rice. “Travel and shipping delays in 2020 and 2021 demonstrated that Prodigy needed to have the tools in place to stand on its own. This onsite lab is the final element of that equation. In-process testing will give our team the tools and confidence needed to run our facilities at maximum capacity in very short order.”

A Holiday Letter from Kraig Biocraft Laboratories’ CEO

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“the Company” or “Kraig Labs”), the leading developer of spider silk-based fibers, announces today that Kim Thompson, the Company’s CEO, issued a letter to shareholders. The full text is as follows:

With the holiday season upon us, I’d like to reach out to all of our team members, especially our shareholders, to express my appreciation and great expectations for our production and commercialization in 2022.

Yes, the holidays are just around the corner and we’re heading into 2022 in what is, by far, our strongest financial and fundamental position, so we’re excited about the coming advancements for Kraig Labs and anticipate spider silk’s commercial success in the New Year.

As you know, 2021 presented many new challenges, mostly centered on navigating the COVID-19 regulations, but addressing these with smart solutions has enriched Kraig and Prodigy Textiles, our Vietnamese subsidiary.

For example, after confirming proof of our production concept, we introduced the first automation into Prodigy’s workflow five months ago. This equipment has drastically improved our material handling and has allowed us to grow the size of our silkworm colony without bringing in additional labor. More importantly, this equipment is playing a key role in our quality control system and is the backbone on which we are building out our production capacity. This upgrade to our operations has delivered a sustained quality to our silkworm colony that was previously not attainable.

However, the next phase of this initiative is a game-changer; Prodigy’s fully equipped laboratory is a new onsite capacity that was designed to mirror the capabilities of Kraig’s US R&D headquarters and provide in-process quality and genetic screening. Partnered with the automated production equipment, the new lab will provide Prodigy with the same world-class genetic screening capabilities that were critical in Kraig’s creation of spider silk transgenics. Once these capabilities are online, we anticipate judiciously scaling output to metric tons.

I believe that the importance of that milestone cannot be overstated, because it positions us to move on to the next chapter of our business model. Fulfilling the years’ long material request backlog, which is key to securing additional commercialization agreements. Plus, we plan on working with some inventors and product developers whose imagination may take spider silk to yet unknown frontiers.

Dr. Miller, who completed his Ph.D. and postdoctoral work at Yale, joined Kraig’s R&D team in July. He’s already made significant contributions in advancing the commercialization of the Company’s new lines of nearly pure spider silk and the silkworm immunity enhancement program. Dr. Miller has recharged our R&D team with new energy and expertise. His contributions and ideas have opened the potential for several additional revenue streams reaching far beyond textiles. We’re excited to see what he unveils over the next year.

Of course, most of these breakthroughs were made possible by the $5 million funding that the Company secured through its partnering with a substantial investment bank based in New York. This marks the largest capital investment in the Company’s history. Drawing this type of attention and confidence from sophisticated investors is exciting and reaffirming of our belief in the markets for spider silk and the future of Kraig Labs. As our production operations continue to grow, we are positioned to see additional potential institutional funding in 2022.

Kraig Labs and Prodigy Textiles kindly thank you for your trust and continuing support, because we accomplished so much, together. We hope that you are surrounded by loved ones this holiday season and that, like Kraig, your best days remain ahead.

With warmest holiday greetings and best wishes for the New Year,

Kim Thompson and the entire Kraig Labs’ family
