Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. has successfully completed phase one of its production facility expansion, marking a significant milestone in the company's growth. The newly finished space, completed on budget and on time, is now prepared to support the upcoming third production wave starting this month.
This expansion is particularly crucial as it allows Kraig Labs to maintain silk production during the rainy season, a time when silk yields typically drop. The new facility enhances their ability to process, dry, and store fresh mulberry, ensuring uninterrupted spider silk production.
Additionally, Kraig Labs is undertaking a major project to build a new, larger silkworm egg hatchery. This facility is designed to meet the company’s production demands for the next 12-18 months and is expected to be operational before the end of the rainy season.
Kim Thompson, Founder and CEO, emphasized that the investments in expanding production capacity are crucial to Kraig Biocraft's strategic growth plan. These enhancements will allow the company to accelerate its efforts and deliver cost-effective, eco-friendly spider silk to global markets.
