PRESS RELEASE
REPLOID is growing its team and creating space for further growth and
innovation
• The Group’s headcount more than doubled in financial year 2025
• New headquarters in Wels
• New Global Innovation Center in Leipzig, Pegau becomes the Fertilizer
Center of Excellence
WELS, Austria – March 24, 2026 – The REPLOID Group AG (“REPLOID”)
continues to grow dynamically even in a challenging economic environment
and is significantly expanding its organization. At the beginning of 2025,
the Group employed 50 people; by year-end, the workforce had already
increased to 109 employees.
Headcount growth is continuing in the current financial year, in which the
Group plans to double its staff once again. To provide sufficient space
for the growing team, both the headquarters in Wels and the research and
development center in Germany have moved to new locations.
In February 2026, employees at the Wels headquarters moved into new,
modern offices at Durisolstraße 6, Wels. At its sites, REPLOID relies on
an activity-based working concept that offers different zones for focused
work, interaction, creativity, and confidential discussions. In addition,
REPLOID follows a New Work approach that puts people and their needs for
purpose, autonomy, and development at the center. At the end of 2025,
around 60 people were employed at the site; the new location offers space
for up to 150 employees.
In March 2026, a large part of the research and development team relocated
from Pegau to the new site at BMW-Allee 10 in Leipzig. In this “Global
Innovation Center,” REPLOID is creating space for research collaborations
and the practice-oriented development of new feed formulations. In
addition to modern laboratory space for applied research, the site offers
more than 2,500 m² of hall space with extensive opportunities for
technical advancements and for producing black soldier fly neonates
(“nursery”) using state-of-the-art technology. These neonates are then
used in customers’ decentralized insect-rearing plants (“ReFarmUnits”) to
achieve the best possible yields. The previous site in Pegau will be
retained and developed into a Fertilizer Center of Excellence for the
development and production of organic fertilizers. The Global Innovation
Center in Leipzig is designed for around 60 people, and the Center of
Excellence in Pegau for around 10 people.
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 100 people.
