That article is from 2011.

Another article in 2010 (http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/stories/2010/06/14/focus4.html) stated:

The trick is in finding a host where the gene expresses and full-length silks will be secreted. “You need one of a certain size to supply the silk,” Voigt said.

Salmonella, for one, was a no-go, and Voigt said the lab hasn’t expressed full-length silks in any host.

“We’ve got quite a ways to go,” Voigt said.

Once the host is found, though, Refactored Materials believes the technology can be reproduced on a larger scale. Plus, the method would be cleaner than that used for Kevlar because it is water-based and can work at close to room temperature.

Based on this, I believe the statement about their first product being natural dragline silk was more of a goal rather than an actuality at the time that article was written. After all, I have not seen any recent statements from them claiming that they have achieved dragline silk properties.
