Video offers behind-the-scenes insight into spider silk operation
Biotechnology company Kraig Biocraft Laboratories has released a video to provide a behind-the-scenes look at its silkworm breeding facility in Vietnam. It said the video would be the first in a series “designed to bring the viewer inside the company’s recombinant spider silk production operations”.
Operated by its wholly owned Vietnamese subsidiary, the company said the facility is now equipped to meet the production demand for its proprietary spider silk silkworm eggs through 2025 and has the capacity to expand beyond that.
“Our team has built out what we believe to be one of the most advanced silkworm breeding facilities in the world,” said chief operating office, Jon Rice. “We are excited to share these first behind-the-scenes looks into our operations and to bring the viewers along on this incredible journey bringing our eco-responsible, cost-effective spider silk to global consumer markets.”
