Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, a prominent developer of ‘spider silk’ textiles, announced that its subsidiary Prodigy Textiles has signed a 5-year lease on a factory in Quang Nam province in Vietnam.
The factory covering an area of 50,000 square foot aims to enhance company’s production capacity of its proprietary recombinant spider silk technologies.
While expressing happiness over his team’s effort in Vietnam , Jon Rice, COO, Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, said that the Kraig team under the able leadership of Kenneth Le has been doing a great job in scouting, selecting and negotiating the terms of the agreement.
Further on the same, he added that the new factory’s nearness to mulberry fields as well as easy access to shipping ports would go a long way in helping Kraig Biocraft introduce spider silk technology in world textile market.
The company soon expects the technology to get transferred to the new factory from the existing temporary facility used by Prodigy Textiles.
It is worth noting here that protective garments for military are one of the several applications of textiles made from these strong fibres.
