Kraig Biocraft Laboratories’ Prepares for First Monster Silk™ Textiles

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories’ Prepares for First Monster Silk™ Textiles

 

LANSING, Mich., May 5, 2014– Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Kraig”), the leading developer of advanced spider silk based fibers, announced today that Warwick Mills, Inc. (“Warwick”), a leader in the engineering and development of advanced technical textiles and protective materials, is preparing to weave the first textiles with Kraig’s Monster Silk™ recombinant spider silk.  This is part of Kraig’s collaborative development initiative of advanced spider silk based textiles.

Kraig previously shipped Monster Silk™ yarn to Warwick, which after studying the material, requested that it be processed to additional specifications.  The material was shipped back to Kraig and then studied by a silk spinning expert who analyzed the fibers. The fibers were then processed according to the directions and specifications of the spinning expert.  Recently, Kraig received the reprocessed Monster Silk™ and shipped the material to Warwick.  Warwick is now testing and analyzing Kraig’s Monster Silk™ recombinant spider silk and determining the best ply and cord twisting for yarn optimization in preparation for creating sample textiles.

“We appreciate and respect the fact that Warwick asked us to reprocess the material instead of just moving forward at full speed with weaving or knitting,” said Kraig CEO and founder, Kim Thompson. “Warwick has taken the time to do this right.  As a result, the development of Monster Silk™ based textiles is at an exciting stage, Warwick is preparing to create the first Monster Silk™ textiles.”

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories’ Spider Silk Production Efficiency Doubles

Monster Silk(TM) Production Surprises Company by Hitting New Milestone

LANSING, Mich., March 24, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (KBLB) (“Company”), the leading developer of advanced spider silk based fibers, announced today that its genetically engineered spider silk, Monster Silk(TM), production program has more than doubled in productivity.

During the pilot production program, the yield rate of viable silk cocoons was approximately 30%. At those rates, the cost structure warranted the conversion of the pilot test program to a much larger scale.

The latest reports from the current production ramp up point to a dramatic and unexpected increase in yield to 70%; more than double the output efficiency shown during the pilot phase.

The initial assessment from the Company’s scientific team is that the Monster Silkworms(TM) are acclimating to the production environment.

“This dramatic boost in productivity was a surprise to us. Our plan was to methodically increase productivity rates over the next 18 months. Our team had drawn up plans that included selective breeding and cross breeding to achieve those goals. To see such a remarkable gain in so short a time was beyond our expectations. The obvious benefits, should these rates continue, would include reduced production costs and reduced ramp up time,” said Company Founder and CEO, Kim K. Thompson.

“With this doubling in efficiency, we need to focus on emplacing the necessary infrastructure to support the increased productivity. As far as challenges go, these are good problems to have. We have already taken action to beef up our production infrastructure to support these larger numbers. The improvement in performance is dramatic; but, with such significant advancements I am cautious until I see that results are consistent over the next few months,” Thompson concluded.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Launches Commercial Production of Monster Silk(TM)

The Company Plans on Producing Metric Tons of Recombinant Spider Silk in 2014

LANSING, Mich., Oct 07, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) — Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB:KBLB) (“Company”), the leading developer of advanced spider silk based fibers, today announced the launching of the Company’s commercial production program with the recent hatching of its first batch of Monster Silk(TM) silkworms for commercial production.

Furthermore, the Company is currently expending resources to augment the scale of its Monster Silkworm(TM) production over the next 30 to 90 days. This move coincides with the Company’s planned strategy to rapidly increase its production capacity. The Company’s strategy is to commit the vast majority of its initial production capacity to a propagation program designed to increase its production population. A smaller portion of the first commercial production generation should also yield fibers which can be dedicated to the production of woven textile samples.

“Our launch of our commercial scale production of Monster Silk(TM) is a long awaited major milestone for Kraig, as we demonstrate our ability to convert recombinant spider silk, and Monster Silk(TM) most specifically, from an exciting laboratory technology to a marketable product,” said, CEO and founder, Kim K. Thompson. “We believe that rolling out the world’s first recombinant spider silk commercial production project will only expand our global development prospects, for Monster Silk(TM) and other high technology fibers.”

“It has taken many years to go from my initial concept of recombinant spider silk to the laboratory production of Monster Silk(TM) and now the actual launch and scaling up of the commercial scale production. I want to thank our investors and, most particularly, the research scientists, whose work and dedication has made this long anticipated day possible.”

“Given the current planned production schedule, we could theoretically be producing Monster Silk(TM) in metric ton quantities by early January. A more conservative estimate, given the realities of launching such a ground breaking and commercially unique project, would be to reach that major milestone in mid 2014. This move reaffirms our view that Kraig is the world’s leading developer of recombinant spider silk technologies,” concluded Thompson.
