REPLOID plans acquisition of fertilizer plant in Bavaria

• Advanced negotiations with two established fertilizer producers in
Bavaria
• First own industrial-scale production of organic and hybrid
fertilizers
• Supplying customers in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic,
and Italy
• Continued expansion of the southern Germany cluster

 

Wels, Austria – July 27, 2026 – REPLOID REGREEN GmbH (“REPLOID REGREEN”),
a subsidiary of REPLOID Group AG (“REPLOID”), is in advanced negotiations
with two established industry players to acquire a fertilizer plant in
Bavaria, Germany. A decision in favor of one of the two producers is
expected within the coming weeks. The acquisition would give REPLOID its
first industrial-scale fertilizer production capacity, marking a key step
in the company’s vertical integration – from organic residues from the
food industry to marketable fertilizer products.

Southern Germany as a core market

Since the opening of the ReFarmUnit in Burghausen in March 2026, REPLOID
has been steadily expanding its presence in southern Germany, particularly
Bavaria. Together with regional partners, the company is actively driving
the development of additional nearby sites. In REPLOID’s modular,
decentralized, and highly automated insect-rearing plants (ReFarmUnits),
Black Soldier Fly larvae convert residues from the regional food industry
into insect protein, fat, and insect frass – the raw material for organic
fertilizer production.

The planned plant puts this location strategy into practice at industrial
scale: insect frass will be processed right where it is generated. What
the fertilizer industry typically organizes via supply chains stretching
thousands of kilometers will be brought together into a regional,
closed-loop system in southern Bavaria – without intermediaries and
without long transport routes.

A dedicated entity for the fertilizer business

REPLOID has already established the organizational foundation for its
fertilizer operations. Through REPLOID REGREEN GmbH, the Group bundles
production, development, and sales of its fertilizer activities within a
dedicated company. The Managing Director is Andreas Steinbüchler, formerly
Chief Commercial Officer of LAT Nitrogen GmbH and President of the
Fertilizers Europe Association.

Andreas Steinbüchler, Director of Fertilizers at REPLOID Group AG and
Managing Director of REPLOID REGREEN: “Europe’s nutrient supply is heavily
dependent on imports whose prices no one here can influence. We are
changing that with regional production – not as a niche, but at industrial
scale. In Bavaria, we already have the feedstock and a ReFarmUnit in
place, and the customers are right next door. A dedicated fertilizer plant
is therefore the next logical step and we are moving on it quickly.”

Two product lines, five markets

REPLOID REGREEN plans to produce both organic fertilizers and hybrid
fertilizers that combine organic nutrient carriers with mineral
components. In addition to agriculture and (hobby) gardening, the company
also targets professional green-space management: since July 2026, REPLOID
REGREEN has been a partner of the Bavarian Football Association for
organic fertilizers. From its Bavarian site, the company is ideally
positioned to supply and serve customers in Austria, Germany, Switzerland,
the Czech Republic, and Italy.

 

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.
