# EXIM Guarantees Waller Cable Facility Financing

On October 6, 2026, the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) announced a **$547 million loan guarantee** for Tele-Fonika Cable Americas’ proposed rubber-insulated cable manufacturing facility in Waller, Texas, under EXIM’s Make More in America Initiative. The project could employ up to 500 people and several hundred construction workers, but remains subject to regulatory approvals, permits, financing, and other conditions. For contractors and suppliers, it signals potential future demand for facility construction and equipment, not a confirmed contract opportunity.

- The proposed facility would expand U.S. cable manufacturing capacity; Tele-Fonika Kable Group’s CFO cited expected demand from data centers, mining, and industrial infrastructure.
- Construction firms and equipment suppliers can assess potential fit for the project while accounting for its unresolved approvals, permitting, and financing conditions.
