Milan, Italy (15 April 2026) — Caracol, a global leader in robotic advanced manufacturing, is announcing a strategic partnership with CNC Robotics, one of the UK's foremost KUKA Platinum System Integrators, debuting at MACH 2026. Visitors to stand 17-429 can meet the joint team of Caracol, its official UK reseller AM Futures, and CNC Robotics, who share a commitment to bringing world-class robotic manufacturing solutions to the British market.

The cornerstone of the partnership is the capability to assemble, integrate, and service Caracol's Heron AM and Vipra AM systems locally. This significant step will boost support for localized production and the reshoring of manufacturing capacity across key British industrial sectors.

Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Liverpool, CNC Robotics has established itself as a leading specialist in robotic integration for both additive and subtractive manufacturing applications. Its team boasts deep expertise in developing bespoke robotic machining systems across aerospace, marine, automotive, and composites sectors. As a KUKA Platinum System Integration Partner with over a decade of accreditation, CNC Robotics brings unmatched technical depth in robotic CNC and milling, making them a natural fit within Caracol's partner ecosystem.

The joint partnership of Caracol, CNC Robotics, and AM Futures creates a comprehensive local infrastructure to support Caracol's British customers from commercial engagement and deployment to technical integration and after-sales support. CNC Robotics' milling robotics and custom configuration know-how further enriches the range of solutions available with Caracol's Heron AM and Vipra AM platforms, enabling increasingly tailored applications for the most demanding industrial requirements.

"The UK is a strategic market for Caracol, and this partnership reflects the depth of that commitment," said Francesco De Stefano, CEO and Co-founder of Caracol. "By building a complete local ecosystem — with AM Futures and CNC Robotics — we are giving UK manufacturers access to the full power of our platforms, assembled and supported on home soil. At a time when reshoring and supply chain resilience are top priorities across British industry, we want Caracol to be the partner manufacturers can count on."

Jason Barker, Founder and CTO at CNC Robotics, added, "Our partnership with Caracol is a major milestone for CNC Robotics and for the UK manufacturing sector. As Caracol's key partner in the UK, we're not only bringing cutting-edge large-format additive manufacturing technology to the market - we're backing it with local technical expertise, responsive on-the-ground support, and strong commercial guidance. UK customers can rely on us for a seamless experience from initial consultation through to installation, training, and long-term service. Together with Caracol, we're enabling manufacturers across the UK to adopt advanced AM solutions with confidence and clarity."
