#9 Kraig Biocraft begins spider silk operations in Vietnam

In Michigan, Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. a developer of spider silk based fibers, has been issued its long awaited Enterprise Registration Certificate required to begin its operations in Vietnam. This was a result of its five years of working with the Vietnamese government at both the central and provincial levels to obtain the ERC.

The Company’s advanced silk production platform was designed specifically to fit within and utilize existing silk industry infrastructure. “Our work to obtain these approvals has been driven by our goal of producing recombinant spider silk on a large scale, which can only be achieved by harnessing the opportunities presented by existing large scale silk production infrastructure,” said Thompson.
