In 2008, the founders of AMSilk started with the idea to make spider thread available in industrial quantities. Spider silk is one of the most fascinating materials on earth: two and a half times stronger than steel since ever used for medical applications and is extremely versatile.

But spiders are cannibals, farming them to produce silk on an industrial scale turned out to be impossible. So, for a long time, it was the holy grail of material science to find a way to replicate and produce the spider's thread "without the spider". AMSilk basically solved this challenge by inventing a technology to produce spider silk on an industrial scale by using biotechnology.

Thus, AMSilk was one of the prime movers to invent large structural proteins for products that can replace other chemical products or products of animal origin. Ever since at AMSilk, we have believed that nature offers better alternatives to existing materials with biofabricated materials.
