“This Series B represents a generational step for Caracol,” said Francesco De Stefano, CEO and co-founder of Caracol. “In just a few years we’ve built strong global traction, doubling revenues year after year. This round validates our vision and the outstanding execution of our team, while bringing on board some of the world’s leading deep-tech investors. With their support, we’re ready to accelerate our global scale-up and help advanced industries strengthen supply-chain and manufacturing resilience through the flexibility, efficiency, and sustainability of our technology.”
With this funding, Caracol plans to accelerate the global growth of its robotic manufacturing platforms by intensifying research and development on its multi-process and multi-material technologies. The company is focusing on the integration of software, automation and artificial intelligence to improve process control, precision and the quality of the parts produced. It also plans to strengthen its Vipra AM metal offering, dedicated to regulated sectors such as aerospace, defence, energy and naval, while continuing to develop its Heron AM platform for composites for transport, construction and architecture.
100 platforms in different sectors
In five years, Caracol has doubled its turnover every year, and more than 100 platforms have been installed worldwide, enabling the reduction of costs for certain parts, the halving of tooling production times and the deployment of circular economy solutions. Notable collaborations include the Italian Ferretti Group in the nautical sector, the French Duqueine Group in the automotive and motorsport sectors, and the American HITT Group in the construction sector.
Caracol is also continuing to expand its Texas site, which is becoming a production and support hub for the North American market, while consolidating its European technology base with the recent acquisition of robotic additive technologies from Hans Weber Maschinenfabrik GmbH in Germany. These advances illustrate the group’s commitment to large-scale industrialisation of its advanced manufacturing solutions and bringing production closer to customer markets.
This £40 million fundraising marks a new stage in the rise of a European deep tech company that has become a global player in large-scale robotics.
