ANN ARBOR, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24KBLB&src=ctag" target="_blank"gt;$KBLBlt;/agt; lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/KBLB?src=hash" target="_blank"gt;#KBLBlt;/agt;–Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company”), the leading
developer of spider silk based fibers, announced today that, through its
subsidiary Prodigy Textiles, the Company has signed a new 5 year lease
on a factory, expanding its production footprint in Vietnam. The roughly
50,000 ft2 facility in Quang Nam province is expected to play
a major role in supporting the Company’s increasing production capacity
of its proprietary recombinant spider silk technologies.

“Our team in Vietnam, led by Mr. Kenneth Le, has done an excellent job
of scouting, selecting, and negotiating the terms of this deal. With its
close proximity to the necessary mulberry fields, and easy access to
shipping ports, this facility will serve as a springboard for Kraig
Labs’ introduction of spider silk into the global textile markets,” said
COO Jon Rice.

The Company expects to begin transferring its technology into the larger
factory from the temporary facility that Prodigy Textiles has been
utilizing since December of 2018.
