Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. is a Wyoming corporation focused on developing high-strength fibers using recombinant DNA technology for commercial applications, including technical textiles. The company uses genetically engineered silkworms that produce spider silk proteins to create its recombinant spider silk. Applications for this technology include performance apparel, workwear, filtration, luxury fashion, flexible composites, medical implants, cosmetics, and more. Kraig Biocraft Laboratories believes it is the world's leading company in the research, development, and production of commercially scalable and cost-effective recombinant spider silk fiber. Its primary proprietary fiber technology utilizes natural and engineered variants of spider silk produced in domesticated mulberry silkworms. The company applies twenty-first-century biotechnology to the historical silk industry, introducing materials with innovative properties into an established commercial ecosystem of silkworm rearing, silk spinning, weaving, and manufacturing of garments and other products. It uses genetic engineering technologies to develop fibers with greater strength, resiliency, and flexibility for target markets, including the specialty fiber and technical textile industries. The company believes its genetically engineered protein-based fibers have properties superior to materials currently available. Its technology has potential for ballistic-resistant materials and other applications requiring lightweight and high strength. The introduction of gene sequences based on native spider silk results in a self-perpetuating germline transformation. The recombinant spider silk fibers incorporate silk proteins found in spider silk with native silkworm silk proteins, creating new and unique recombinant silk fibers. This protein expression platform also has potential applications in diagnostics and pharmaceutical production.
