About Spiber:
Spiber Inc. is a Japanese biotech startup that designs and produces structural protein materials to be used to create innovative new types of materials. Established in 2007,
Spiber’s platform technology allows protein to be tailored at the molecular level to suit users’ specific material needs. The range of properties that proteins can express in material applications is far broader than that of petrochemical polymers and bioplastics.
By changing the gene sequence that codes for a target protein, properties such as strength, elasticity, water resistance, and more can be modified in the target material application. Spiber learns the requirements of end-users through strategic partnerships, designs suitable proteins, produces them through fermentation, then processes them into various forms as needed for the end application. End applications include fibers, resins, films, gels, sponges, and others without limit. Spiber’s industrial material platform is forging a path to a new sector of biomaterials for a plethora of applications, including lighter, higher performance automotive and aerospace parts, apparel, and more.
