Well actually you could only infer what they were doing in the new lab considering they hadn't told anyone till yesterday.
It is redudant information.
From april PR
The new laboratory's near-term priorities include housing the Company's expanding technical textiles research and development program and accelerating the ramp up of its monster silk product toward industrial scale production.
"We are currently in the process of moving into the laboratory and expanding our research and development capabilities," said Company founder and CEO, Kim K Thompson, following the conference call. "This is a real milestone event for the Company. Up until now, all of our research has been conducted within university laboratories. The Company has grown and developed to the point where we are excited to seize this opportunity and expand into a state of the art research center. We see the new laboratory as providing the opportunity for a significant expansion of our capabilities."
K so it was quadrupled...... and if he said tripled or was 100x..????
We have been getting "ramp -up" pr's for over a year now, and still not at production levels.
All I am saying is that this information is not worthy of a PR.
