Kraig Biocraft Laboratories meets its target with largest ever product batch of bam-1 spider silk

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc., a global leader in engineered spider silk technologies, is thrilled to announce that it has begun production of the largest single batch of BAM-1 recombinant spider silk in the Company’s history. Last year, the Company publicly set a goal of exceeding all of 2024’s production with a single production batch in 2025. Today, Kraig Labs announces it has far exceeded that goal and kept that promise.

In 2024, Kraig Labs produced more spider silk than in all previous years combined. Following a record-breaking 2024, the Company is now surpassing that milestone with just a single production run in early 2025. This single production run is larger than the Company’s entire output for the previous 12 months. This extraordinary expansion underscores the Company’s continued success in scaling up the commercial production of its revolutionary spider silk technology.

“Today, we are making history,” said Jon Rice, Chief Operations Officer of Kraig Labs. “This production run is not just our largest to date—it is larger than everything we produced throughout all of 2024. This achievement demonstrates our ability to dramatically scale BAM-1 silk output, bringing us closer than ever to meeting what we see as an immense global demand for high-performance spider silk.”

The current BAM-1 silk production run is the latest in a series of breakthroughs that validate the Company’s robust spider silk production platform and its ability to deliver industrial-scale quantities of its cutting-edge biomaterial. Kraig Labs remains committed to pushing the boundaries of advanced material science, leveraging its scalable production systems to create unprecedented opportunities in technical textiles, defense, and performance apparel industries.

“As we continue to ramp up production, this milestone is a clear testament to the dedication of our team and the scalability of our technology,” said Rice. “We set out to revolutionize the performance materials market, and we are proving that spider silk is no longer a material of the future—it is here today and ready for commercialization.”

With this historic production milestone, Kraig Labs is further solidifying its position as the industry leader in spider silk manufacturing. The Company looks forward to sharing further updates as it advances toward commercial deliveries and strategic partnerships.

Global cotton production projected to outpace consumption, but risks remain

Global cotton production is projected to reach 26.2 million tonnes in the 2026/27 season, marginally outpacing estimated consumption of 25.9 million tonnes. However, early-season production risks — including weather volatility and pest pressures — could narrow that buffer as the crop progresses, according to the September 2026 issue of Cotton This Month, published by the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC).
