Kraig Biocraft reaches next step in production growth
When Kraig Labs unveiled its 2026 production plan in February, the Company committed to an aggressive timeline to scale spider silk output to multi-ton commercial volumes. Today’s announcement confirms that Kraig Labs is delivering on that commitment.
“This is a defining moment for our Company and for the future of advanced materials. We told the market we were going to scale fast, and that is exactly what we are doing,” said Kim Thompson, Founder and CEO of Kraig Labs. “Crossing the one metric ton mark in a single month is a massive commercialization milestone. This is real production at scale. Recombinant spider silk commercialization isn’t coming, it’s here.”
The Company reported that the production ramp was completed without operational disruptions or delays. Expanded facilities and newly deployed BAM-1 Alpha production hybrids performed as designed, with output meeting or exceeding internal benchmarks at every stage. This seamless execution reflects years of investment in scalable infrastructure, proprietary production strains, and vertically integrated operations.
Each phase of the Company’s scale-up has now been validated in the field, building a foundation for continued acceleration.
“This wasn’t a one-off. This was a pressure test of our entire system, our facilities, our hybrids, our team, and every piece delivered,” Thompson added. “We built this platform and a technology designed for scale, and the results speak for themselves.”
With the one metric ton threshold now cleared, Kraig Labs is driving toward its next major target: 10 metric tons of spider silk cocoon production per month. The Company expects to reach that level within the coming months, unlocking significant commercial opportunities across technical textiles, performance apparel, and other applications.
At that scale, Kraig Labs believes spider silk will move from a breakthrough biomaterial to a widely available, high-performance industrial fiber. A material that has no equal; lightweight, exceptionally strong, and sustainably produced.
“Our trajectory is accelerating,” Thompson concluded. “We are building something the world has never seen before, and we’re doing it faster than most thought possible.”
