Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Sets New World Record for Largest Spider Silk Gene Insert into Silkworm

ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 24, 2025 — Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company” or “Kraig Labs”), a world leader in spider silk biotechnology, today announced a groundbreaking scientific achievement in the development of high-performance biomaterials. Kraig Labs successfully engineered the largest known spider silk gene insert into silkworm—nearly doubling the previous record. This breakthrough represents a major step toward creating next-generation spider silk fibers with enhanced strength, flexibility, and performance potential.

The project was led by Dr. Xiaoli Zhang, the Company’s research manager, whose team continues to push the boundaries of genetic engineering for spider silk production.

“This milestone significantly expands the possibilities for spider silk technology,” said Dr. Zhang. “By increasing the size of the inserted spider silk genes, we are unlocking the potential for new materials with properties beyond what is currently achievable. This breakthrough lays the foundation for the future of high-performance silk fibers.”

While the sheer size of the genetic insert marks a scientific breakthrough, its real significance is not in its size but in the information this genetic packet carries. This allows for the creation of larger more complex proteins with unique mechanical properties for incorporation into the silk fibers. As Kraig Labs moves forward with this technology, the Company will explore the tremendous opportunities for increases in material performance these new larger packets allow.

This scientific accomplishment represents a bold step forward in material innovation and expands the possibilities of what can be achieved in material performance. Kraig Labs remains fully committed to the commercialization of its current recombinant spider silk production strains, even as it accelerates its development of more advanced materials. The Company is moving forward rapidly to advance the scale-up of its existing technologies, bringing spider silk fibers to market for applications in performance textiles, defense, and industrial sectors.

“Our mission is twofold: to commercialize our existing spider silk technology while continuously innovating for the future,” said Company CEO and founder, Kim Thompson. “This record-setting genetic achievement underscores the depth of our research capabilities and demonstrates our long-term vision for creating even more advanced biomaterials. Dr. Zhang and her team have taken a critical step toward making the next generation of spider silk a reality.”

Kraig Labs is currently accelerating its recombinant spider silk production, while also investing in the future of spider silk technology. The Company will continue to provide updates on both its commercialization efforts and its groundbreaking research.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Confirms Operations in Vietnam’s Silk Production Hub, Lam Dong Province

In January of this year, Kraig Labs announced the issuance of a new Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) for expanded production. This IRC was a critical regulatory achievement, paving the way for the Company to fully establish and scale its production in Vietnam’s premier silk-producing region.

As the heart of Vietnam’s silk production, Lam Dong Province is the ideal location for the Company’s expansion and investment into large-scale spider silk manufacturing. With the recently issued report by the Department of Finance in Lam Dong, Kraig Labs can now officially confirm its presence in the region.

With this key development, Kraig Labs is accelerating its production growth, positioning the Company to execute its ambitious expansion plans for 2025 and beyond. By establishing operations in Vietnam’s silk capital, the Company is strengthening its supply chain and scaling up its proprietary spider silk production.

“This is a transformative moment for Kraig Biocraft Laboratories,” said the Company’s Founder and CEO, Kim Thompson. “Establishing operations in Lam Dong has been a priority for more than ten years and now, with our footprint firmly in place, we are making significant investments to drive our production to unprecedented levels.”

As Kraig Labs continues to expand, the Company remains committed to leveraging its innovative technology to revolutionize the performance textiles industry while contributing to the development of Vietnam’s silk sector.
