Caracol partners with UK’s CNC Robotics at MACH 2026
Caracol, headquartered in Barlassina, Italy, has announced a strategic partnership with CNC Robotics, located in Bootle, UK, debuting at MACH 2026. A key element of the partnership is the capability to assemble, integrate, and service Caracol’s Heron AM and Vipra AM systems locally. This step is intended to support localised production and the reshoring of manufacturing capacity across key British industrial sectors.
The partnership is intended to create a comprehensive local infrastructure to support Caracol’s British customers from commercial engagement and deployment to technical integration and after-sales support. The company’s expertise in robotic milling and custom system configuration also enables increasingly tailored applications for 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.”
Caracol, along with its official UK reseller AM Futures and CNC Robotics, is exhibiting at stand 17-429 at MACH 2026, taking place from April 20–24, 2026, at the NEC Birmingham, UK.
