$KBLBPress releaseOct 12, 2026, 7:05 AM ETRead the release

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories filed for an expanded investment license for its production subsidiary Prodigy Silk to fund the next phase of recombinant spider silk capacity growth. The company cites a breakout 2026: a fivefold production jump in April, a world record of nearly 2.5 metric tons of cocoons in a single cycle in June, and more than 30% further output growth in August across three rearing centers. Kraig also shipped its first custom spider silk yarn for a performance sportswear application, and management frames the license expansion as the funding mechanism to scale supply for expected market demand.
