I agree, and here is part of an interview Kim did recently.

Kraig Labs recently doubled Monster Silk output and has reached full capacity at its production facility. It hopes to beef up infrastructure and further double production there by the end of this year, Thompson said. The company also is looking into launching very large-scale production in Vietnam. “Vietnam has an excellent infrastructure in place for silkworms, as well as idle capacity and skilled, underutilized people; and we would be able to move very quickly to production,” he said.

Kraig Labs also has achieved a breakthrough in its efforts to ensure filament uniformity. “Variation from cocoon to cocoon has been a big concern, but we have developed a protocol that eliminates that variability,” Thompson explained, noting that there is a certain amount of genetic variation in the silkworm colony. “It allows us to test for that variation before the silkworms spin the cocoons, choose those that are producing the highest quality for breeding, and improve the colony.” Thompson anticipates that filaments produced by subsequent generations will have improved average strength and flexibility.

We obviously have approval in some country to be at full capacity in that facility, with talk of expansion according to the TW article. But Where?



This is the "undisclosed location," as KBLB wants to keep it secret as long as possible,for several reasons.

All valid points, "Col." I am elated with the progress Kim is making, and sooner or later, we have to begin receiving good news via gangbuster PR's. IT IS INEVITABLE FOLKS! Just wait for it, because it IS coming!
