Hello Everyone,

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, a leading developer of spider silk based fibres, has completed the first batch of Dragon Silk cocoon production for its recently reported military contract. The fibres will soon be headed to a reeling facility to be prepared for delivery to Warwick Mills.
The company will contract Warwick Mills to produce ballistic shoot packs, for delivery to the US Army, based on the company’s Dragon Silk technology. The company is expected to make final delivery to the US Army in the second quarter of 2017.
For the past century, Warwick Mills has been a leader in the engineering of technical textiles for protective applications. Warwick develops and integrates complex fibre composites for the most challenging safety applications. Its core products include technical textiles, custom adhesives, and performance coatings.
Commercial sale of Dragon Silk
“The Indiana factory scale up of our proprietary recombinant spider silk, we call Dragon silk, has exceeded our expectations. As we ship this first batch of Dragon Silk cocoons dedicated for the US Army, we are already beginning to prepare for production of fibres ready for commercial sale to some of our primary end users,” said Company Founder and CEO Kim Thompson.
The company will now begin to sell its Dragon Silk and Monster Silk fibres to the various parties that have submitted sample requests, with priority given to substantive collaborative development agreements and key end uses.
