Caracol Secures $40 Million Series B to Accelerate Global Advanced Manufacturing Expansion

Caracol, a deep-technology firm specializing in large-format robotic manufacturing, has closed a $40 million Series B financing round. The funding will support the company’s expansion of advanced manufacturing capabilities across international markets, and intensify work in regulated sectors including aerospace and defense.

Strategic Growth and Market Ambition

The investment round was co-led by Omnes Capital and Move Capital Fund I, with participation from CDP Venture Capital’s Large Ventures Fund, alongside key Italian institutional investors and existing backers. The round was oversubscribed, enabling some early investors to partially exit, reflecting strong investor demand.

Caracol plans to leverage the capital to scale operations globally — reinforcing presence in Europe, the U.S., and the Middle East, and targeting high-growth regions such as Asia Pacific. Strengthening its North American base is a priority, with expansion of its Texas headquarters now underway to localize manufacturing and better serve regional customers.

Technology Focus: Multi-Material, Multi-Process Manufacturing

Central to Caracol’s growth strategy is advancement of its robotic manufacturing platforms, which combine additive technologies, automation, intelligent software, and data-driven process control. The funding will accelerate development of metal additive manufacturing capabilities, particularly for sectors with rigorous regulatory standards like aerospace, defense, maritime, and energy. The company also intends to evolve its polymer manufacturing offerings to support industrial sectors such as transportation, construction, and architecture.

Caracol’s strategy includes acquiring complementary technology: the company recently acquired additive robotic intellectual property and capabilities from a German firm to deepen its European technology base and strengthen supply capacity.

Aerospace and Defense Relevance

For readers in the aerospace industry, Caracol’s scaling is directly relevant to trends in additive manufacturing and robotic production for mission-critical components. Large-format additive systems promise new pathways for lightweight structural parts, repair and replacement operations, and reduced lead times in production. Caracol’s multi-material platform approach opens potential for hybrid components combining metals and polymers, which could be applied in airframe interiors, support structures, tooling, and ground systems.

In defense programs, where certification, traceability, and manufacturing resilience are critical, Caracol’s emphasis on software-enabled control, automation, and quality assurance aligns with the demands of regulated production environments. As aerospace supply chains seek more flexible and distributed manufacturing, the firm’s global expansion may present new partnership opportunities for integrators, OEMs, and parts suppliers.

Performance Track Record and Team Growth

Over the past five years, Caracol has installed over 100 robotic manufacturing platforms globally and completed hundreds of customer projects across multiple industries. The company reports year-over-year revenue growth exceeding 100 percent, a pattern that continued through the first half of 2025.

Caracol currently employs over 100 professionals across offices in Milan, Austin, and Dubai, and maintains a presence in more than 50 countries. The new funding will support further expansion of its global team, recruiting technical and commercial talent to sustain rapid scale and cross-regional execution.

Outlook and Strategic Positioning

With this Series B, Caracol is positioning itself to move from a high-growth startup in advanced manufacturing toward a scalable industrial platform with strong footholds in aerospace, defense, and regulated sectors. If the company succeeds in advancing its technology roadmap, it may become a compelling partner for aerospace firms looking to integrate large-format, robotic additive and hybrid manufacturing solutions into their production and supply chain strategies.
