REPLOID secures growth financing in the double-digit million-euro range
from Raiffeisen Bank International

• Financing package consists of a term loan and a revolving credit
facility
• RBI becomes one of REPLOID’s core banking partners

 

WELS, Austria – May 7, 2026 – REPLOID Group AG (“REPLOID”) is on a strong
growth trajectory. The number of employees more than doubled in 2025 and
is expected to double again in 2026. Over the coming years, the company
plans to significantly increase the number of ReFarmUnits sold while
further strengthening its fertilizer and animal feed businesses. The
company is driving international expansion in Europe and selected
additional markets.

In light of this, securing a reliable financing partner with strong
international expertise is crucial for the next phase of growth.
Therefore, REPLOID Group AG is pleased to announce that it has entered
into a financing agreement with Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) in
the doubledigit million-euro range. This agreement lays the foundation
for a new, long‑term business relationship.

The financing consists of a term loan with a maturity of four years and a
revolving credit facility with a maturity of approximately three years. In
addition, the parties are already in discussions about further financing
to support REPLOID’s long-term growth trajectory.

Philip Pauer, CEO and founder of REPLOID: “With RBI, we have gained an
internationally experienced banking partner that understands our business
model and supports our expansion on multiple levels. The entire process
was characterized by a high degree of professionalism. I am delighted that
RBI is now one of our core banking partners.”

Harald Kröger, Head of Group Structured Finance & Investment Banking at
RBI: “In recent weeks, we have taken a very close look at REPLOID’s
business model. The company operates in areas that are highly relevant to
key customer groups within the Raiffeisen sector. We are pleased to
support REPLOID, a highly innovative company from the region, on its
dynamic path of international growth.”

RBI Growth Financing Program for scale‑ups

With its €250 million RBI Growth Financing Program, RBI supports
fast‑growing scale‑up companies with proven business models. In contrast
to traditional venture capital financing, RBI focuses on credit‑based
solutions. This specifically addresses companies that wish to finance
their growth without diluting their ownership structure.

REPLOID: A dynamic growth company extracting valuable raw materials from
organic residues

Based in Wels (Austria), REPLOID is a fast‑growing scale‑up that uses
organic residues as the basis for robust circular‑economy models, creating
added value for both the environment and economic performance. To achieve
this, the company transfers natural processes that insects have performed
for millions of years to an industrial scale.

For its customers, REPLOID builds ReFarmUnits – modular facilities in
which Black Soldier Fly larvae process organic residues from the food
industry. After rearing, the larvae are either marketed directly or
further processed into proteins and fats, for example for customers in the
animal feed industry. The by‑products of this process, the so‑called
insect frass, forms the basis for REPLOID’s premium organic fertilizer.

TUDC GmbH, a specialized corporate finance boutique for growth financing,
supported REPLOID in this transaction as Executive Finance Partner.

 

About REPLOID Group AG

REPLOID offers an innovative system for the industrial utilization of
regional organic residues from the food industry.

The company builds and services modular and scalable insect-rearing plants
for its customers – the REPLOID ReFarmUnits. In these plants, young Black
Soldier Fly larvae supplied by the company receive a site-specific feed
mix. This mix is developed on the basis of REPLOID’s own research and
development using residual materials from the regional food value chain.
After rearing, customers either use the larvae and/or their by-products
themselves, or REPLOID takes them back for centralized marketing or
further processing.

REPLOID sells the reared larvae either directly or, after further
processing into proteins and fats, for example, to customers in the animal
feed industry. From the by-products of insect rearing (insect frass), the
company produces premium organic fertilizer.

With decentralized upcycling on an industrial scale, REPLOID provides an
economically attractive solution within the circular economy. Food
residues and unused food are utilized efficiently, helping to conserve key
resources over the long term.

REPLOID Group AG was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Wels,
Austria. The company has a global focus and has been listed since July
2025 on the Vienna Stock Exchange’s direct market plus segment (ticker
symbol: HRX5). The Group employs more than 135 people.
