Denver, Colorado – Shares of Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (OTCQB:KBLB) are likely to attract additional attention, as Kraig’s recombinant spider silk technology is featured on the cover of the March 2026 issue of National Geographic.
The publication spotlighted Kraig’s genetically enhanced silkworm platform, which produces spider silk fibers as part of the silkworm’s natural biological process. The feature The Quest for Spider Silk included facility tours and live demonstrations, including towing a car and suspending a person using a single lightweight loop of spider silk thread.
Kraig Labs’ spider silk technology holds amazing potential across numerous applications from apparel to medicines, industry, and defense technologies, and the coverage is happening just as Kraig Labs’ production operations is set to kick into high gear, to begin supplying the markets with this amazing material.
Production Ramp in Focus
The media milestone coincides with what could be a pivotal operational phase. Kraig Labs is preparing to deploy approximately one million proprietary spider silk silkworm eggs across three production facilities in Vietnam, targeting output of up to 10 metric tons of cocoons per month beginning in March.
If sustained commercial output materializes, KBLB could become only the second company in history to achieve commercial-scale production from a transgenic animal platform, a milestone historically associated with ATryn, later incorporated into Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY) following its acquisition of Genzyme.
Scientific validation Unleashed Wave of Copycats
Scientific validation for the platform was previously published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, confirming fibers tougher than conventional silk and comparable to native spider dragline silk.
Several startups were able to use Kraig Labs’ breakthroughs to raise tens of millions, to even hundreds of millions, of dollars to chase the spider silk dream, but nearly all have since pivoted away from chasing the very elusive dream.
To be clear others attempted to produce spider silk prior to Kraig Labs’ success, as National Geographic reported, “In the 1930s, inspired by the architecture of silk, DuPont (NYSE:DD) developed nylon.” DuPont filed a patent, in 1994, for producing synthetic spider silk in E. coli bacteria, but was unable to produce the desired fibers.
Interested parties are now watching for confirmation of initial deliveries to previously disclosed global brand partners spanning luxury fashion, performance sportswear, and athletic equipment.
