The company raised the $40m in its Series B round

Caracol, a European deep-tech company and large-format robotic manufacturers, has closed its $40 million Series B round, co-led by Omnes Capital, Move Capital Fund I, along with CDP Venture Capital– Large Ventures Fund

The new funding will help to advance Caracol’s global scaling and international expansion, particularly in Europe, the United States, and the Middle East, and expanding further into high-growth markets like Asia Pacific.

Caracol is set to deepen its capabilities of its multi-process, multi-material platforms, focusing on software, automation, and AI to provide data-driven process control and improved quality. The company also plan to intensify the ramp-up of its metal additive manufacturing technologies in aerospace and defence, energy, and maritime, whilst it continues to grow its polymer offering in verticals including transportation, construction, and architecture.

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.”

François-Xavier Dedde, partner at Omnes Capital, said, “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 deep-tech sovereignty and resilience. We are proud to support Caracol as it enters this new phase of profitable international expansion.”

Alessandro Scortecci, head of Direct Investments at CDP Venture Capital, said, “We are excited to continue supporting Caracol on its journey, as the company demonstrates solid and consistent growth. 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 U.S. 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.”
