Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (OTCQB: KBLB) announced the start of its sixth 2025 spider silk production cycle on October 20, 2025, introducing the first large-scale deployment of its BAM-1 Alpha recombinant spider silk hybrid.
The company says BAM-1 Alpha builds on 2024 breakthroughs to deliver stronger performance and higher silk yields while fitting existing production schedules and infrastructure. The cycle scales parental lines and continues use of diapause egg management to improve efficiency, logistics, and sustained throughput across cycles.
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (OTCQB: KBLB) announced a selective breeding advancement that materially increases recombinant spider silk production throughput. By mating an improved parental strain with a BAM-1 parent, the Company created the BAM-1 Alpha hybrid, which demonstrated 22% higher cocoon shell weight (the company's measure of silk output) and an increase in hybrid vigor of more than 245% versus the original BAM-1. BAM-1 Alpha will be deployed across Kraig's multi-facility production infrastructure to support commercial manufacturing and lower per-unit production cost, while robustness data beyond shell weight remains unquantified.
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (OTCQB: KBLB) announced plans to add a third recombinant spider silk rearing center as part of a rapid production expansion. The company said it has opened two centers over the past 18 months and is identifying a site for the third facility, expecting to finalize a location within 60 days from the Oct. 6, 2025 announcement.
