Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Announces Creation of Four New Transgenics
Kraig Labs continues to expand its inventory of revolutionary transgenics
ANN ARBOR, Mich., – May 10, 2016 – Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company”), the leading developer of spider silk based fibers, today announced the creation of four new lines of transgenic silkworms. These new transgenics are based on a new set of the Company’s most complex protein designs to date. These new designs are targeted for applications in performance apparel, medical, and ballistic protection, where their intended strength improvements should provide even higher levels of durability. The Company believes that these new transgenics have the potential to produce silk fibers with an unprecedented combination of physical properties with the potential to rival its existing Dragon SilkTM line. Over the next several months the Company will start testing each of these newly created transgenics to measure their performance and use for targeted application.
“These are the most complex genetic constructions that we have ever created in the Company’s history,” said COO Jon Rice. “In some cases, these designs took more than 12 months to perfect and we are just now able to confirm that this work has resulted in successful transgenics. This work represents a significant breakthrough in our efforts to bring transformative technical fibers to market and is a clear demonstration of our capability for continuous innovation.”
The Company expects to announce more details on the performance of these new materials over the coming months as performance testing is completed and each of these new transgenic silkworm lines obtain homozygosity.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Announces Signing Hybrid Silk Production Agreement in Vietnam
Kraig Labs now preparing for launch of new Vietnamese subsidiary
ANN ARBOR, Mich., – February 29, 2016 – Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company”), the leading developer of spider silk based fibers, today announced the signing of a cooperative agreement with a governmental entity in Vietnam to develop and produce the Company’s advanced silk technologies. Under the terms of the agreement Kraig Labs has agreed to form a subsidiary company in Vietnam and to open an advanced hybrid silk research and pilot production operation.
Kraig Labs has created an efficient method of producing high strength silks using its innovative genetic engineering technologies. Demonstrating superior strength and elasticity, in some cases higher strength and elasticity than native spider silks, Kraig Labs’ Dragon SilkTM has the potential to reshape the textile industry. The research and production agreement announced today lays the groundwork for the production and further development of these advanced hybrid textiles.
“This agreement represents a major advancement for Kraig Labs and is the successful culmination of two years of negotiations and many more years of scientific research and development,” said CEO and Founder Kim Thompson. “It is a key milestone in the advancement of our longstanding business plan to bring these advanced materials to the multi-billion dollar marketplace for advanced technical textiles. It brings us a huge step closer to meeting the demand for our spider silk technologies. This agreement is important because of the tremendous existing silk and textile production infrastructure. At the same time bringing a new technology and capability to Vietnam. This agreement was the result of considerable effort by all parties involved and we are pleased to announce today the success of those efforts. I would like to personally thank our negotiation partners for their dedication in completing this first of its kind international agreement.”
The Company is currently in the process of obtaining the necessary approvals for the subsidiary and its operational plan. Over the next several months the Company plans to finalize the formation of the subsidiary, lease a research and production facility in Vietnam, hire and train local staff, obtain permits, and begin cross breeding its silkworms with local commercial silkworm lines.
