Circus SE acquires FullyAI to advance AI solutions in foodservice
German company Circus SE has completed its previously announced acquisition of FullyAI, an agentic AI company, to advance solutions for the foodservice sector. The announcement was made in January 2025. The acquisition is now set to transform FullyAI into the cognitive core of the Circus SE ecosystem. This acquisition signifies a significant step in Circus SE's goal to create a cohesive intelligence layer throughout its robotics and software systems. The integration of FullyAI will begin with an AI-driven voice ordering terminal and extend to include real-time operational decision-making and predictive maintenance. FullyAI will leverage several data points from its CA-1 meal supply robots and provide a self-improving intelligence layer that links software process and all robots in real-time. The integration of FullyAI with Circus SE's proprietary systems will allow the ecosystem to understand context, demand and behavioural patterns by analysing multiple data streams. These include customer profiling, inventory and procurement systems, and real-time robot operations. This continuous flow of insights is poised to establish a global nutrition intelligence network, enabling Circus SE systems to forecast demand, adapt and globally scale precision nutrition. The physical AI-robotics layer (CA-1), the operational layer (CircusOS) and the intelligence layer (FullyAI) are now designed to function in unison. Circus SE CEO and founder Nikolas Bullwinkel stated: 'With the acquisition of Fully, we are also expanding our growing stack of proprietary IP [intellectual property] in the field of global nutrition autonomy for humans.' FullyAI's engineering team and management have been integrated into Circus SE. Niklas von Weihe, formerly associated with Meta's advanced AI teams, has been appointed as Circus' director of AI. Minh Dao, who previously worked with clients such as Tesla, Google and McDonald's, joins as vice-president for growth, responsible for overseeing new product verticals and brand expansion initiatives. The acquisition was finalised based on the terms set out in the ad hoc announcement in January, which included the issuance of 400,000 new shares subject to a 36-month lock-up period. Subsequent company law procedures to finalise the acquisition will be completed by the end of June 2025.

Circus Introduces AI-Robot for Defense Operations
CA-M is the world's first autonomous AI-robotics system to fuel troops in high-risk territory and remote field operations. Engineered for extreme operational environments, CA-M eliminates personnel risk, automates field nutrition logistics, and unlocks critical manpower in defense operations. Active negotiations underway with multiple NATO-aligned and allied defense forces for initial field deployments; classified demonstrations of the CA-M available in Munich. MUNICH, April 29, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Circus SE (XETRA: CA1), a global technology company in AI- robotics for autonomous food infrastructure, today introduces the CA-M, the world's first autonomous meal supply AI-robot developed specifically for defense forces operating in high-risk territory and beyond traditional supply lines. With modern military operations facing increasingly complex supply chain challenges, limited meal access, outdated nutrition standards, and the vulnerability of static field kitchens in high-risk zones, the CA-M delivers a breakthrough with fully autonomous, on-demand meal production under extreme operational conditions. By eliminating the dependency on traditional field kitchens and minimizing supply chain personnel in hostile environments, the CA-M redefines how armed forces sustain themselves during operations. The launch of CA-M marks the second product in Circus' AI-robotics line, arriving shortly after the company's start of serial manufacturing for its flagship CA-1 AI-robotic system. Built on the same patented technology as its civilian version CA-1, the CA-M extends the core capabilities into an outdoor, ruggedized format engineered for frontline use. Engineered for rapid deployment and operational agility, the CA-M is embedded in a 20- foot container, ensuring seamless mobility across military logistics networks and operates autonomously through CircusOS—Circus' AI-native operating system. Designed for extreme environments, it significantly reduces the need for human involvement in food preparation and distribution by leveraging robotics and minimal external dependencies. With off-grid features and onboard capacity for ingredients to prepare over 1,000 fresh meals per load, the CA-M ensures autonomous operations even in highly dynamic or remote conditions. "In war and crisis, sustaining military personnel is just as critical as equipping them," said Nikolas Bullwinkel, CEO of Circus SE. "With the CA-M, we're proud to deliver a new backbone for troop sustainment—targeted nutrition, on demand, at the edge of operations. Developed over more than a year and in deep exchange with frontline operators, the CA-M eliminates complex, manual meal supply processes. It's a bold leap forward that redefines military logistics, a true global invention, and strong international demand confirms the urgent need to reimagine how we power defense missions." Active negotiations are underway with multiple NATO-aligned and allied defense forces for initial field deployments. A CA-M evaluation unit is available for classified demonstrations in Munich, Germany, and can be booked via the Circus Group website. About Circus SE Circus SE (XETRA: CA1) is a technology company pioneering embodied AI systems for autonomous meal supply. Headquartered in Munich, Circus develops patent-protected AI robotics and enterprise SaaS solutions that power and extend beyond the CA-1 and CA-M, an AI-robotics-based meal supply system. Built for global food service operators across retail, hospitality, and defense, the CA-Line enables scalable, end-to-end autonomy for meal supply.
