Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Leverages New Production Center for Largest Ever Batch of Spider Silk Parental Lines

ANN ARBOR, Mich., – September 30, 2024 –Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“the Company” or “Kraig Labs”), the leading developer of commercially viable spider silk, today proudly announces the launch of its largest production cycle of its BAM-1 line. Leveraging the expanded capacity of its new production rearing center, this rearing cycle will more than double the Company’s previous single-batch caterpillar production record.

To grow production capacity and maximize the new rearing center, the Company has divided this batch into two groups. Twenty percent of this batch are BAM-1 hybrids for reeling finished silk. Eighty percent of this batch is split evenly between the two BAM-1 parental lines that will be crossbred to produce  millions of BAM-1 hybrid silkworm eggs for future production cycles.

First-generation hybrids are created by crossbreeding the two BAM-1 parental lines together. These first-generation hybrids create larger production cocoons, increased robustness, and improved reeling performance. As such, the Company maintains a small population of its BAM-1 parental lines that are raised in parallel with the BAM-1 hybrids each production cycle. The priority placed on BAM-1 parental lines for this rearing cycle was explicitly targeted to quickly ramp up first-generation BAM-1 hybrid eggs.

This record-setting production cycle highlights the Company’s ongoing commitment to scaling up the production of its advanced silk materials, bringing Kraig Labs one step closer to revolutionizing the performance materials market.

This production batch marks a significant increase in both the volume and scale of the Company’s silkworm-based spider silk manufacturing, ensuring that Kraig Labs is well-positioned to meet the needs of these broad and diverse markets.

“This milestone BAM-1 production run exemplifies our commitment to scaling the production of our unique spider silk fibers,” said Company Founder and CEO, Kim Thompson. “As we continue to break new ground in performance materials, this expanded capacity represents a key advancement toward full-scale commercial production.”

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Successfully Completes Third Commercial Spider Silk Production Cycle

ANN ARBOR, Mich., – August 19, 2024 –Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“the Company” or “Kraig Labs”), announces today that it has completed the third commercial spider silk production cycle. This cycle primarily focused on producing the Company’s BAM-1 recombinant spider silk hybrids, which marks the second successful commercial production cycle of the Company’s most advanced spider silk hybrids.

This production occurred during the region’s rainy season, a time of high humidity and heavy rains, which prevents most silk producers from operating. Kraig Labs actively chose to continue production during the rainy season to further challenge test the robustness and resilience of its BAM-1 hybrids. 

Operating during the rainy season helped to further optimize Kraig Labs’ silkworm colony and identify the best performers and future colony expansion. Renowned sericulture expert Dr. Nirmal Kumar is with the production team to analyzing all of the data collected during this rearing cycle and guiding the team to optimize the BAM-1 parental lines for continued success and growth of spider silk production.  

Over the next two weeks, the Company will harvest the hybrid spider silk cocoons from this production cycle and send them to local reeling facilities. This batch of cocoons will be used to further refine reeling operations, improve efficiency, and produce additional finished spider silk for use and sale in end markets.

“There is no stiffer challenge for the robustness than operating during the rainy season. Our BAM-1 hybrids demonstrated that they are ready for the worst mother nature can throw at them,” said Company COO, Jon Rice. “Our team continues to hit new production and processing milestones with the BAM-1 hybrids as the catalyst for rapid and continuous growth in our scalable and commercially sustainable spider silk production.”
