REPLOID Group AG consolidates its fertilizer business in new company
REPLOID REGREEN GmbH
• REPLOID sets up REPLOID REGREEN GmbH as a dedicated company for its
fertilizer business
• Andreas Steinbüchler appointed as Managing Director, bringing more
than 25 years of industry experience
• Initial focus on Central Europe, with organic fertilizers made from
insect frass
• Market entry with fertilizer sticks for potted plants in fall 2026
WELS, Austria – July 16, 2026 – REPLOID Group AG („REPLOID“) is
consolidating its fertilizer business into a dedicated company. Led by
Managing Director Andreas Steinbüchler, the newly formed REPLOID REGREEN
GmbH (“REGREEN”) – based in Wels – will produce and market organic
fertilizers made from insect frass for the Central European market.
With this spin-off, REPLOID is putting the structure in place for its
planned entry into the fertilizer market. The REGREEN products will be
made from insect frass sourced from REPLOID’s own ReFarmUnits. Insect
frass is a nutrient-rich by-product, generated when Black Soldier Fly
larvae process organic residues from the food industry.
The market entry is planned for fall 2026 with fertilizer sticks for
potted plants. A lawn fertilizer and an agricultural fertilizer for
commercial farming will follow later the same year.
Europe’s fertilizer market is under structural pressure: heavy reliance on
imported mineral fertilizers, tightening regulation, and increasingly
degraded soils. Organic fertilizers complement mineral ones – improving
nutrient efficiency, building soil organic matter, and making soils more
resilient to drought stress. This positions REGREEN to meet rising demand
for locally produced, circular solutions in agriculture and horticulture.
Andreas Steinbüchler, Managing Director of REPLOID REGREEN: „Europe
imports fertilizer while its soils are being depleted. Neither is a viable
option in the long run. With REGREEN, we are deliberately building what
has been missing: a regionally produced organic fertilizer that makes
soils more fertile over the long term. With a focused company within the
REPLOID Group, we gain the speed and agility to successfully develop the
market with innovative products.“
Philip Pauer, CEO and Founder of REPLOID Group AG: „With REGREEN, we are
giving our fertilizer business its own, effective structure and, in
Andreas Steinbüchler, a leader with many years of industry experience.
This underscores that the fertilizer segment is a strategic growth pillar
for us, with enormous scaling potential.“

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 190 people.
