Kraig Biocraft Laboratories' Spider Silk is on Track for Large Scale Production

Scientific Evaluation Team Encouraged by Monster Silk(TM) Ramp Up Program


LANSING, Mich., March 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB:KBLB) ("Company"), the leading developer of advanced spider silk based fibers, today announced that its scientific evaluation team performed an onsite assessment and evaluation, at the request of the Company, of its genetically engineered recombinant spider silk, Monster Silk™, production ramp up. This production ramp up follows closely on the heels of the Company's successful pilot production program, which finished in late 2013. The scientific evaluation team reported that the ramp up program is on track for large scale production of Monster Silk™. The team's report also included specific recommendations for accelerating commercial scale production and for completing the transition from pilot production to commercial scale production.

"The scientific evaluation team's findings reinforce our belief that this important program is working and warrants that we commit additional resources to our scale up of Monster Silk™ production. This evaluation encourages us that we are on the right track to achieve our goal of large scale production. More importantly, the team found areas where we can improve our production efficiency in order to reach that goal. We have already started to put these plans in place to strengthen the Monster Silk™ production program," said Company Founder and CEO, Kim K. Thompson.

The goal of this program is to produce Monster Silk™ in metric ton quantities.
