Caracol, a leading European deep-tech company in large-format robotic manufacturing, closed a $40 million Series B round co-led by Omnes Capital, Move Capital Fund I, and CDP Venture Capital – Large Ventures Fund, with support from Italian institutional investors and existing shareholders including Primo Capital SGR, Eureka! Venture SGR, and Neva SGR. The oversubscribed round also allowed early investors to exit with significant returns.
The funding will drive global expansion across Europe, the U.S., Middle East, and Asia Pacific, and advance technology in multi-process, multi-material platforms with focus on software, automation, and AI. Efforts include scaling metal additive manufacturing for aerospace, defense, energy, and maritime, while growing polymer applications in transportation, construction, and architecture. The team, currently over 100 employees in Milan, Austin, and Dubai, will expand further.
Over the past five years, Caracol installed more than 100 robotic platforms worldwide, delivering hundreds of projects that reshaped supply chains. Achievements include 70% cost reduction for Ferretti Group, 50% faster carbon fiber tooling production for Duqueine, and waste reduction in construction with HITT.
Recent milestones include expansion of the Texas headquarters for North American operations and acquisition of Hans Weber Maschinenfabrik GmbH’s additive robotic IP, strengthening the European technology base and DACH supply chain.
Francesco De Stefano, CEO and co-founder of Caracol, said: “This Series B represents a generational step for 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.”

This Series B round provides Caracol the financial strength to scale its large-format robotic manufacturing globally, while consolidating its European leadership in advanced manufacturing, contributing to Europe’s deep-tech sovereignty and resilience. We are proud to support Caracol as it enters this new phase of profitable international expansion.”
