Global Brands Standing by for First Spider Silk Shipments
Kraig Labs entered active commercial discussions with three major global brands that are preparing to receive initial spider silk shipments.
"We are in regular communication with three major global brands that are standing by to receive their first shipments of materials," the letter stated.
These include:
- "An internationally renowned high-end luxury fashion brand that has already accepted a quote from Kraig Labs."
- "A world leader in high-end performance sportswear with an approved budget to buy silk from us."
- "One of the world's top 5 performance athletic equipment producers, looking for spider silk to integrate into their top-performing products."
"Currently, we expect to begin deliveries to these customers in the second half of this year."
New Double Hybrid Strain on Track for 2025 Launch
A major scientific milestone was confirmed with the announcement that the Company's next-generation production model—the double hybrid system—remains fully on track for deployment in 2025, which is critical to launching its double hybrid system, marking a significant leap in scalability and efficiency.
"Our longstanding plans were to field a new strain of silkworm for our double hybrid production system in the Summer of 2025... We were, therefore, ecstatic to announce that we created another world's first development on schedule."
This breakthrough is expected to boost production output by
"The double hybrid model is designed to significantly improve our silk production rate, we expect by as much as 25+% per month."
Kraig Lab BAM-1 Recombinant Spider Silk Cocoons
BAM-1 Hybrid Demonstrates Industry-Leading Resilience
Kraig Biocraft's current BAM-1 hybrid system has already delivered major gains in disease resistance and reliability, matching the robustness and disease tolerance of the Chinese commercial silk hybrid, the regional gold standard.
"The BAM-1 appears to be on par with the Chinese commercial silk hybrid, which is the gold standard in that region for the production of mundane silk."
This leap in robustness has mitigated previous challenges with silkworm diseases and environmental stress. This resilience ensures more reliable production cycles, even in difficult environmental conditions like the current rainy season affecting global silk producers.
"Since rolling out the BAM-1, we have dealt with these routine challenges and have weathered these events with similar or identical effects as mundane silk producers utilizing the Chinese hybrid."
Work-in-Progress Inventory to Reflect True Output
The Company confirmed that several hundred kilograms of recombinant spider silk cocoon are now awaiting to be processed into finished silk. Kraig will begin including this in its work-in-progress (WIP) inventory accounting, to better reflect the company's shift to larger-scale production.
"We will expand the scope of our work-in-progress (WIP) material inventory to include recombinant spider silk cocoon that has been completed but not reeled."
This shift comes as hundreds of kilograms of spider silk cocoons await processing, laying the groundwork for larger-scale deliveries.
"In the first quarter of this year, we stockpiled several hundred kilograms of cocoon that are now waiting to be processed into finished silk."
This inventory expansion marks a transition from nominal production to commercial-scale operations.
Spider Silk Technology at a Tipping Point
The past year has seen what the Company describes as a "revolution" in its spider silk production technology.
"In short, there has been a revolution in our spider silk production technology over the past 14 months due to the introduction of BAM-1 and other improvements in the field and laboratory."
Robust strain development, improved disease tolerance, and steady production have laid the groundwork for scalable, high-yield manufacturing.
"As we meet our marks toward the initiation of the double hybrid, we anticipate our gains to accelerate further."
Commercial Focus and Execution at the Forefront
The letter also emphasized that spider silk production remains Kraig's exclusive and that execution is rapidly accelerating.
"As I hope we've made clear from our public disclosures over the last 18 months, we are
"In the last 8-10 months, we've been able to move faster to deliver on that commitment."
Revolution in Spider Silk Production: Over the past 14 months, Kraig Labs has achieved a "revolution" in its spider silk technology, overcoming historical robustness issues and positioning the company for accelerated growth as it prepares for the double hybrid system rollout.
The combination of scientific breakthroughs, increased output, and major brand engagement positions Kraig Biocraft for commercial revenue generation.
Focused Execution and Commercial Outlook
CEO Kim Thompson concluded the letter with a reaffirmation of Kraig Labs' unwavering mission:
"We are
"I believe the future for Kraig Labs and spider silk has never been brighter, and we thank you for your continued support."
Kraig emphasized that
With next-gen technology on schedule, scaled inventory building underway, and three industry giants preparing to receive initial shipments, Kraig Biocraft Laboratories is transitioning from a research-centric biotech into a commercially viable materials science innovator.
