New site is ‘springboard’ for Kraig in Vietnam

16/05/2019
Developer of spider silk based-fibres Kraig Biocraft Laboratories has signed a five-year lease on a factory in Vietnam’s Quang Nam province, allowing it to expand its production footprint in the country. It operates its business in Vietnam through subsidiary Prodigy Textiles. 

It will now begin transferring its technology into this 50,000 square foot facility from the temporary site it has been using since December 2018. 

Making the announcement Kraig’s chief operating officer, Jon Rice, said: “With its close proximity to the necessary mulberry fields, and easy access to shipping ports, this facility will serve as a springboard for Kraig Labs' introduction of spider silk into global textile markets.”
