Caracol, a global leader in large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM), announces the acquisition of IP and robotic machine configuration assets from the additive division of Hans Weber Maschinenfabrik GmbH, a German leader in extrusion technology with over 100 years’ industrial machinery excellence.
This acquisition serves two main purposes for Caracol: first, to integrate Weber’s additive technology into its product portfolio, creating the most comprehensive LFAM ecosystem on the market, and addressing a wide range of international customer needs. Second, it reinforces Caracol’s commitment to accelerating the global adoption and industrialization of LFAM technologies across diverse manufacturing sectors, expanding Caracol’s reach in the DACH region
Customers and partners looking to work with Weber’s additive solutions can expect Caracol’s full commitment to continued support and development, gaining access to Caracol’s global field and service network – spanning over 55 countries. Backed by Caracol’s holistic approach and deep application expertise, all products will benefit from the same quality service and after-sales support the company is known for, helping businesses scale their production operations with LFAM. Weber will remain a key partner for the development of its extrusion technology and support product development on Caracol’s extended portfolio.
“This agreement combines heritage with innovation, by two companies united by shared values: progressiveness, engineering excellence, and a customer-centric mindset,” says Francesco De Stefano, CEO and Co-founder of Caracol. “It allows us to strengthen the technological roadmap of two best-in-class technologies, ensuring each can best fit specific customer’s industrial needs. On the one hand, Caracol’s expertise of the full turnkey technological ecosystem, process, and deep vertical application know-how. On the other, Weber’s core expertise on extrusion and machinery manufacturing.”
De Stefano continues “Thanks to the partnership with Weber, Caracol clients will be able to access Heron platforms with a broader level of customization and configurations to satisfy their specific industrial needs. This means also additional options when it comes to automation – such as Siemens control or ABB robots”.
