Circus SE and Secura Partner to Deploy Autonomous Meal Robots

• Circus SE will launch its CA-1 autonomous meal robot in partnership with Secura, beginning at Ingolstadt’s Quartier G innovation hub.
• The rollout will extend to enterprise sites across Secura’s client base, including Shell, General Electric, BMW, Porsche, Thyssenkrupp, and Audi.

Circus SE, a global AI and robotics company developing autonomous systems for food supply, has entered into a strategic partnership with Secura, a corporate facility services provider with more than 200 enterprise clients. The partnership will deploy the CA-1, Circus’s fully autonomous food production robot, across Secura’s service network.

"With the CA-1, we are delivering more than just cutting-edge robots – we are bringing entire autonomous ecosystems to commercial clients. Partnering with Secura allows us to integrate our technology seamlessly across high-profile enterprise clients in a close operational partnership, and opens the door to over 200 renowned clients across Germany and Europe. This deal marks a great step in scaling our autonomous technology together with operational partners," added Dr. Maximilian Schwaller, VP Commercial of the Circus Group, in a press release.

The first deployment is scheduled for later this year at Quartier G in Ingolstadt, Secura’s hometown and the city’s hub for AI, research, and innovation. The CA-1 will serve autonomous meals to guests and officials using a culinary concept developed jointly by Circus, Secura, and local stakeholders.

Additional locations are already planned. Secura will roll out the CA-1 at further client sites across its portfolio, which includes Shell, General Electric, BMW, Porsche, Thyssenkrupp, and Audi.

🌀 Tom’s Take:

Facility services already manage kitchens, logistics, and labor. Dropping autonomous food robots into that stack makes real commercial sense.
