REPLOID expands into Oceania with new sales company
• REPLOID holds 51%
• ASAMER Familienstiftung and entrepreneur Ferdinand Heilig each hold
24.5%
Wels, July 23, 2026 – REPLOID Group AG („REPLOID“) is taking another step
in its international expansion. With the launch of a new sales company in
New Zealand, REPLOID is entering the markets of Oceania – specifically New
Zealand and Australia.
The market for organic residues is growing rapidly, driven by the
circular economy and increasingly ambitious government policy. In 2024,
Australia introduced its Circular Economy Framework, a comprehensive
strategy to improve resource efficiency, reduce waste, and put secondary
raw materials to use.
According to the framework, more than 7.6 million tons of food waste are
generated each year, resulting in economic costs equivalent to more than
€22 billion. A key goal is to cut this volume in half by 2030. Among the
measures outlined, the framework explicitly cites the valorization of
agricultural waste using insect technology.
As in previous expansion steps, REPLOID is once again partnering with
strong allies who bring deep expertise and established networks in the
target region. For market entry into New Zealand and Australia, REPLOID
has secured a collaboration with the ASAMER Familienstiftung (family
foundation) and entrepreneur Ferdinand Heilig, whose regional market
knowledge will actively support REPLOID’s entry into the region. REPLOID
will be responsible for the operational implementation of the projects.
The Asamer family is well known for its namesake family business, with
core operations in gravel, stone, concrete, recycling, and earthworks.
In 2004, Ferdinand Heilig founded the CARBON Group, which he still leads
today as CEO. The group of companies develops, finances, and operates
projects that are both sustainable and economically viable.
Philip Pauer, CEO and founder of REPLOID: “With the ASAMER Family
Foundation and Ferdinand Heilig, we have gained two strong partners who
will play a key role in supporting our expansion into Oceania. Australia,
in particular, is already consistently implementing measures to reduce and
recycle food waste. The potential to convert this waste into high‑value
raw materials using insect technology is clearly recognized and promoted
at the policy level.”
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.
