Circus SE (XETRA: CA1), a leading technology company specializing in artificial intelligence and robotics for autonomous food-service solutions, has partnered with STRABAG Real Estate GmbH to deploy Circus autonomous CA-1 cooking robot and connected AI software for employee catering at sites without canteen infrastructure.

Equipped with CircusAI, the company’s proprietary AI platform, alongside cutting-edge automation and machine learning technologies, the CA-1 can prepare an almost unlimited variety of fresh meals. Initially, the goal is to improve catering services for employees at the Munich site, standardize its application in STRABAG’s real estate projects, and ultimately extend its use to catering for construction workers at large-scale project sites in an efficient and sustainable way. With its compact design of less than 8 m² and integrated AI, the CA-1 sets new standards for automated food services.

“With the CA-1, we are leveraging AI and robotics to fundamentally enhance the catering experience for employees and construction workers,” said Nikolas Bullwinkel, CEO of Circus SE. “Good-quality daily catering is essential in this industry. Together with STRABAG Real Estate, we are addressing the challenge of limited on-site canteen infrastructure, significantly improving the available options. Securing this partnership is a first step toward autonomous employee catering solutions for workers in the construction industry.”

Kersten Waltz, Head of STRABAG Real Estate Bavaria, commented: “With the CA-1, we are elevating the quality and variety of catering for our employees, starting at our Munich corporate site and, in the future, the potential to scale on to our construction sites. The minimal construction effort required for the robot also presents an opportunity to retrofit community spaces in existing buildings with this resource-efficient and autonomous gastronomic concept.”

Circus identifies significant market potential in regions such as Asia and the Middle East, known for rapid growth and numerous large-scale construction projects. The CA-1’s combination of autonomous AI technology and robust hardware makes it one of the most innovative solutions for the global construction sector. Within the first few months of commercialization, starting in Q2 this year, Circus has already secured over 8,600 pre-orders across various industries, representing an annual revenue potential of €1.1 billion from recurring AI software fees and €1.7 billion from robotic sales.

This technological innovation reinforces Circus’s leadership in AI-driven automation while advancing the global transformation of construction site catering.
