Respray Solutions

What Respray Solutions does

Respray Solutions Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság is a Hungarian private company founded in October 2020 by Gergely Zámbó and Andor Réti, headquartered in Budapest. The company has developed what it describes as the world's first in-store spray aerosol Refill Station, allowing consumers to refill personal-care cans up to five times using compressed air as propellant instead of traditional harmful gases. The hardware consists of a 27-inch touchscreen station with integrated label printer, actuator removal mechanism, product identification system, and cloud-based monitoring software; the current 3rd generation unit accommodates up to 20 different SKUs and is constructed from wood with a lower carbon footprint than prior versions.

Respray operates a B2B2C white-label model. It installs and maintains Refill Stations at retail locations in exchange for monthly or yearly rental fees, while partner brands (including ISANA, Sofia Michelle, Nagora, and Yamuna) provide refillable SKUs distributed through those stations. Retailers gain a sustainability differentiator with attendant shelf-space and packaging-waste reductions; brands gain access to a refillable packaging platform that claims up to 80% reductions in packaging waste and a 5x smaller carbon footprint versus standard aerosols (121.76g vs 612.4g CO2e per deodorant). The flagship commercial partner is Rossmann Hungary, which scaled from a 3-station pilot in January 2023 to 30 stations nationwide by June 2024, with Rossmann's Managing Director publicly endorsing customer adoption.

The company has raised roughly HUF 68 million in disclosed equity and debt across rounds between 2020 and 2024 from Hiventures, Startup Campus, Impact Ventures, STRT, and Nesprit, and has secured multiple non-dilutive Hungarian government (NKFIH) grants totaling HUF 204 million to date with a further HUF 358.8 million contracted for the planned RSA4 international expansion program (April 2026 – March 2028). Patents and utility models for the RSA4 filling mechanism, software, and modular design are filed pending, and the company has received 11 industry and sustainability awards including the 2024 German Packaging Award and multiple Hungarian Innovation recognitions. Planned expansion includes an industrial-grade RSB station line and EU market entry.

Core offering

Respray designs, manufactures, installs, and maintains an in-store spray aerosol Refill Station that retailers (such as Rossmann Hungary) host on their premises and where consumers refill their own branded reusable cans. The company provides the hardware (touchscreen station with actuator removal, label printer, can identification system), the compressed-air propellant technology that replaces harmful gases, cloud-based monitoring, and white-label product support for cosmetics and deodorant brands. Revenue comes from Refill Station rental and maintenance services to retailers plus per-refill consumer purchases.

Product overview

Respray Solutions offers a circular economy solution for the aerosol industry through its core Refill Station platform and proprietary refillable spray technology. The platform consists of the Refill Station hardware (currently in 3rd generation, available in RSA3 and upcoming RSA4 versions) that dispenses compressed-air powered refillable spray products into reusable cans (usable up to 5 times each). The company operates a white-label B2B model, installing stations in retail environments where consumers refill products from partner brands. The product portfolio includes multiple brands and product types: ISANA deodorants (Aloe Vera, Soft Blossom, Cosmic Breeze), Sofia Michelle products (Green Tea-Lemon Deospray, Toner & Mist), Nagora PURE BALANCE deodorant, and Yamuna body care line (FIRM SKIN serum, Sweet Harmony deodorant, Happiness Body Lotion, Gentleman Deodorant, Grape Seed Oil Body Lotion). Products are categorized as deodorants, facial care, and body care, with gender-specific variants. The sustainability advantage claims 5x smaller carbon footprint vs. average deodorants (121.76g vs 612.4g CO2e).

Direct peers

• Loop by TerraCycle: Loop is a reusable packaging e-commerce and retail platform partnering with major CPGs (Unilever, P&G, Nestlé) to deliver products in returnable, refillable containers. Comparable to Respray in addressing single-use packaging waste at retail, though Loop focuses on pickup/delivery rather than in-store self-service refills.
• Algramo: Algramo is a Chilean-founded in-store refill dispensing platform for FMCG (cleaning products, personal care) that installs refill stations in retail. Operates the same B2B2C model as Respray and competes head-to-head for retailer's sustainability budgets.
• Miwa Technologies: Miwa is a Czech company that builds smart, IoT-connected in-store refill dispensers using concentrated refills and reusable packaging, primarily for cleaning products. Like Respray, it sells refill infrastructure to retailers as a service, with comparable modular hardware and cloud-monitoring stack.

Broad incumbents

• Berry Global Group: Berry Global is a large global packaging manufacturer producing aerosol cans, pumps, and refillable containers for personal care and household brands. Comparable as a packaging incumbent whose R&D into refillable and sustainable aerosol formats could compete with Respray's hardware model.
• Crown Holdings: Crown Holdings is a major global metal packaging producer including aluminum aerosol cans used by deodorant and personal care brands. Comparable as an incumbent supply partner the company already depends on (TUBEX is one such manufacturer) and a potential competitor moving into refill systems.
• Pact Group: Pact Group is an Australian-listed sustainable packaging manufacturer producing refillable and recyclable packaging for FMCG brands. Comparable as a packaging incumbent with explicit sustainability strategy that could emerge as a competitor or strategic partner to refill infrastructure operators like Respray.

Emerging players

• The Good Fill: The Good Fill is an early-stage refill dispenser company targeting home and personal care categories with in-store refill terminals. It overlaps with Respray on retail refill infrastructure but currently focuses on liquid/pump formats rather than pressurized aerosols.
