   Personnel News: REPLOID Group AG expands Director-level leadership team

    

   WELS, Austria – January 12, 2026 – REPLOID Group AG (“REPLOID”) is making
   three new director-level appointments to support the company’s dynamic
   global growth and expansion.

   Andrew Bernard, as Director of International Business Development, will
   drive REPLOID’s global expansion. A Canadian and British citizen, he has
   dedicated his professional career to building and developing companies
   focused on sustainable waste and residue management solutions. Over the
   years, he has acquired extensive expertise in the use of the black soldier
   fly for waste conversion. Andrew Bernard holds a Bachelor of Arts from St.
   Thomas University (Canada), a Master of Arts from the University of Wales
   (UK), and a Master in Applied Ethics (Business) from Katholieke
   Universiteit Leuven (Belgium).

   Jean-Louis Varvier, appointed Director of Global Marketing, will oversee
   REPLOID’s worldwide marketing activities. He brings extensive experience
   from leading FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) brands such as Danone
   Dairy, Woerle, Kotányi, Mautner Markhof, Nestlé, and iSi Group. His roles
   have been predominantly international in scope, partly extending to global
   responsibilities, and have covered both B2B and B2C orientations.
   Jean-Louis Varvier completed the CPGE Lycée Ampère with a Bachelor’s
   degree in Mathematics and Physics and earned a Master’s in Management,
   Marketing, and Strategy from Grenoble Ecole de Management (GEM).

   Bernd Braunstein will assume the role of Director of Legal Affairs &
   Compliance, where he will be responsible for REPLOID’s Legal and
   Compliance functions, effective January 16. He is a law graduate with
   strong leadership experience in legal departments and compliance
   management at publicly listed companies. His career path has taken him
   from T-Mobile Austria to Wienerberger and Marinomed Biotech. This
   background gives him in-depth familiarity with both smaller corporate
   structures and large, globally operating enterprises.

   “Building a strong leadership foundation is essential as REPLOID pursues
   its next stage of growth,” said Philip Pauer, CEO of REPLOID Group AG.
   “Andrew, Jean-Louis, and Bernd each bring outstanding expertise, and
   together they will help position REPLOID to successfully execute its
   expansion strategy.”

    

   About REPLOID GROUP AG
