Kraig Biocraft Laboratories has resumed production of finished goods utilizing its specialized recombinant spider silk in Vietnam. Safety protocols and restrictions put in place at the onset of the COVID-19 in Vietnam had led to closures and slowdowns of many businesses throughout the country. These restrictions delayed operational growth, and led to slowdowns at yarn spinners and weavers, which limited Kraig’s ability to convert its raw silk into finished fabrics and garments.

As these restrictions are lifting, Kraig Labs is ready to scale-up silkworm production with scheduled delivery and installation of new quality control lab equipment. With the re-opening of textile mills and yarn spinners, Kraig Labs is now resuming work to produce the custom yarns and spider silk fabrics for the launch of SpydaSilk apparel, a joint development partnership with Kings Golden Harvest.

Kraig Biocraft is a biotechnology company focused on development and commercialization of spider silk. In coming weeks, the company expects to receive and install several pieces of lab equipment delayed due to lockdowns. Most critically, with re-opening, Kraig can once again work with textile mills to weave its silk into finished fabrics for the first garments for SpydaSilk and to supply materials to the numerous other brands eager to incorporate spider silk into their products.
