Caracol, a deep tech scaleup innovating in large-format robotic manufacturing, has announced that it has closed a $40 million Series B round, co-led by Omnes Capital and Move Capital Fund I, with CDP Venture Capital – Large Ventures Fund acting as catalyst for the entry of international investors. These international funds, together with Italian institutional investors, will accompany Caracol in its next phase of global growth, with the ongoing support from long-standing shareholders Primo Capital, Eureka! Venture, and Neva, venture capital companies belonging to the Intesa Sanpaolo Group . Thanks to high demand, the round also enabled some of the early investors to exit with significant returns, confirming strong interest from institutional investors in participating in the next phase of Caracol’s story.
This new financing will further accelerate the company’s global growth and international expansion. Caracol will strengthen its leadership in Europe, the United States and the Middle East, and extend its presence in high-potential markets such as Asia, building on the results already achieved in Japan. From a technological standpoint, Caracol will enhance its multi-process and multi-material platforms, with a particular focus on software, automation and artificial intelligence, to ensure data-driven process control and unparalleled quality. The company will also focus on enhancing its metal additive manufacturing technologies, particularly in highly regulated sectors such as aerospace and defence, energy and marine, while continuing to expand its offering in composite manufacturing technologies for key sectors such as transport, construction and architecture. Finally, Caracol will continue to grow its global team, welcoming new international talent to drive innovation and scalability. To date, the company has over 100 employees across its three offices in Milan, Austin and Dubai, and a global presence in over 50 countries.
Over the past five years, Caracol has established itself as one of the most dynamic players in advanced robotics manufacturing, building a solid reputation with over 100 robotic platforms installed worldwide and hundreds of projects completed in various industrial sectors. Revenues have more than doubled year-on-year, a trend that has also been confirmed in the first half of 2025. The company has developed applications that are redefining industrial supply chains: for example, in the naval sector, with cost reductions of up to 70% on finished parts for yachts belonging to the Ferretti Group (Italy); in the automotive and motorsport sectors, with a reduction in production lead times of up to 50% on moulds for carbon fibre parts with Duqueine (France); or in the construction sector, promoting the circular economy and reducing waste in projects carried out with general contractors such as HITT (United States).
Caracol’s recent achievements include
the expansion of its Texas headquarters,
which strengthens its North American presence and creates a hub for local technology production in the region. In addition, the new funding follows the
strategic acquisition of Hans Weber Maschinenfabrik’s intellectual property and robotic additive technologies in Germany, strengthening Caracol’s European technology base and enhancing its supply capabilities in the DACH region.
“This Series B round represents a generational shift for Caracol,” said Francesco De Stefano, CEO and co-founder of Caracol (pictured with the other co-founders), in a statement. “In just a few years, we have built solid global traction, doubling our revenues year after year.

Since then, we have continued to invest in every stage of its growth, as the team has consistently demonstrated its ability to achieve its goals,” says Stefano Peroncini, CEO of Eureka! Venture. “Today, our initial choice has been further confirmed, and we are proud to support such a solid and visionary growth story, alongside new and established international investors, as well as current investors such as Neva and CDP Venture Capital, Corporate Partners Fund I,” adds Matteo Cascinari, partner at Primo Capital.
