These international funds, together with Italian institutional investors, will accompany Caracol into its next phase of global growth, alongside continued backing from long-standing shareholders including Primo Capital SGR, Eureka! Venture SGR, and Neva SGR (the Intesa Sanpaolo Group's venture capital company). Thanks to a massive oversubscription, this round also enabled some early investors to exit with significant returns, underscoring the strong appetite shown by institutional players to invest in Caracol’s next chapter.

This new funding will further accelerate Caracol’s global scaling and international expansion. The company will cement its leadership in Europe, the United States, and the Middle East while expanding further into high-growth markets such as Asia Pacific, building on the strong traction it has already achieved in Japan. On the technology side, Caracol will deepen the capabilities of its multi-process, multi-material platforms, with a focus on software, automation, and AI to deliver data-driven process control and unmatched quality. The company will also intensify the ramp-up of its metal additive manufacturing technologies, particularly in highly regulated sectors such as aerospace and defence, energy, and maritime, while continuing to expand its polymer offering in key verticals such as transportation, construction, and architecture. Finally, Caracol will continue growing its global team, bringing on board top international talent to drive innovation and scale up. As of today, the company employs over 100 people, across three offices in Milan (Italy), Austin (USA), and Dubai (UAE), and has a global footprint with a presence in over 50 countries.

Over the past five years, Caracol has established itself as one of the most dynamic players in advanced robotic manufacturing, building a strong track record with more than 100 robotic platforms installed worldwide and hundreds of projects delivered across industries. Revenues have more than doubled year-over-year, a trend that continued in H1 of 2025. The company has unlocked applications that are reshaping industrial supply chains – for example, in the maritime industry, delivering up to 70% cost savings on finished parts for leading yacht manufacturer Ferretti Group (Italy); in automotive and motorsports, cutting production lead times by 50% on carbon fiber tooling with composite expert Duqueine (France); and enabling circular economy loops and reducing waste in construction projects such as with major general contractor HITT (United States).

“This Series B represents a generational step for Caracol,” said Francesco De Stefano, Co-Founder and CEO, 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 deeptech 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.”

“Caracol has achieved remarkable growth by turning a technological vision into solid industrial performance. 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 deeptech sovereignty and resilience. We are proud to support Caracol as it enters this new phase of profitable international expansion,” said François-Xavier Dedde, Partner at Omnes Capital.

“We are thrilled to invest in Caracol, a company defined by strong technological expertise, visionary leadership, and a clear commitment to sustainability. We look forward to actively supporting Caracol’s international expansion by fostering strategic alliances and partnerships, helping the team scale this next phase of growth,” said Sophie Sursock, Partner at Move Capital Fund I.

“We are excited to continue supporting Caracol on its journey, as the company demonstrates solid and consistent growth,” said Alessandro Scortecci, Head of Direct Investments at CDP Venture Capital. “From the very beginning, we believed in the team’s vision and chose to back them through the first round via our Corporate Partners I fund. Today, we are pleased to see a company that is attracting interest from international investors and successfully accelerating its expansion into new geographies, including the US market, and we continue supporting its growth through our Large Ventures fund. Caracol is a concrete great example of how Italian innovation can scale globally with ambition and strong execution.”
