Cableteque

Cableteque is a venture-backed B2B software company building the digital operating system for the $100 billion wire harness and cable assembly manufacturing industry. Founded by Arik Vrobel, who spent 35 years running El-Com Systems — an Aerospace and Defense wire harness manufacturer he built and sold to Aptiv — Cableteque is purpose-built by industry veterans to solve a problem they experienced firsthand. Wire harness manufacturers lose business because quoting is too slow, often taking days or weeks of manual work extracting bills of materials, chasing supplier pricing, and estimating labor. Cableteque's AI-powered platform cuts quoting time by 70% and increases quoting capacity 5x without adding headcount. The platform covers the full quoting and engineering workflow including automated BOM creation, AI-driven labor estimation, and wire-specific materials management. As of 2026, over 60 wire harness manufacturers use Cableteque for quoting. The company is CMMC compliant and serves contract manufacturers in North America. Cableteque closed a $6 million seed round in July 2026 and has a team of 50+ wire harness and software experts.
