Kraig Biocraft Laboratories opens production facility in Vietnam

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, a developer of spider silk-based fibers, has opened a new facility in Quang Nam province, Vietnam. The facility will be used for the company’s Prodigy Textiles subsidiary due to its proximity to mulberry production, building layout, utilities and access to shipping ports. Kraig Biocraft also plans in the future to open a 124-acre campus near the site as part of its strategy to develop affordable spider silk materials.

The company has also been working in collaboration with a local cooperative to expand mulberry production. The project is a major element of Kraig Biocraft’s production expansion plans and marks a significant increase in capacity.

Last month, the company completed the production of its first roll of pure Dragon Silk fabric, marking the first time that its proprietary recombinant spider silk fibers were used to create a 100 per cent pure woven silk fabric. The material will be used to make ballistic shoot packs for the U.S. Army.
