Working in partnership with its consultants in Vietnam, the Company reviewed numerous buildings and locations throughout the province. The Company ultimately selected this facility due to its proximity to mulberry production, building layout, condition, utilities, and its proximity to shipping ports, and the Company’s planned 50 hectare future campus.

The opening celebration was attended by officials from the province and local district, as well as leaders from the farming cooperatives that will provide mulberry, and senior banking officials.

“Having now seen the new facility first hand I am confident that we will soon have a thriving operation up and running,” said Jon Rice, COO. “We are now in the process of getting the final building updates outlined and completed, so that it will be ready to receive the first shipment of our silkworms. Our team in Vietnam continues to put in an incredible amount of effort to bring this ground breaking project to reality.”
