The Premium Food Group has entered into a strategic partnership with the Austrian company Reploid Group AG. As part of this collaboration, the Premium Food Group has become a shareholder in the biotechnology company. Reploid specializes in the sustainable use of biogenic residues from food production.

With the help of specially developed insect farms, in which larvae of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) are used, organic waste is converted into high-quality proteins, fats and fertilizers. Among other things, these are used as animal feed and raw materials for the processing industry. "As one of the world's leading food manufacturers, the entry of the Premium Food Group is an honor for us," emphasizes Philip Pauer, founder and CEO of Reploid Group AG. "Our technology has impressed in Germany. Our aim is not to incinerate organic waste, but to recycle it sustainably."

As part of the partnership, the two companies want to jointly develop projects to upcycle waste streams and close nutrient cycles within food production even more efficiently. The partnership supports the Premium Food Group's sustainability strategy and actively contributes to resource conservation. In Reploid, the company has found an innovative partner that shares its vision of sustainable food production. Reploid's technology opens up new opportunities to make the value chains of the family business from Rheda-Wiedenbrück even more sustainable and at the same time open up new business areas.

Reploid Group AG has been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange in the "Direct Market Plus" segment since July 2025 and is planning further organic and inorganic growth in the coming months, including expansion in Romania, France and Italy.

With its investment in Reploid, the Premium Food Group is sending a strong signal for innovation and sustainability in the food industry.
