Kraig sets up research facility in Vietnam

12/08/2019
Developer of spider silk-based fibres Kraig Biocraft Laboratories has announced it has completed the construction of its new biotech research laboratory suite in Vietnam.

The site is located within the company’s new spider silk production facility in the country’s Quang Nam province, which it operates through its subsidiary Prodigy Textiles. It consists of eleven separate labs.

The laboratories will support the ramp up of production in Vietnam and will serve as a testing and quality control facility as Kraig seeks to commercialise its recombinant spider silk technologies. The company has said it expects the facilities to also be used for the development of future innovations in spider silk fibres. 

“With these new laboratories and the completion of the Prodigy Textiles factory renovations, we are now ready to start the transition and expansion of our recombinant spider silk production into the new factory,” said Jon Rice, Kraig’s chief operating officer.
