Cableteque Wins Best Enterprise or B2B Technology Innovation at the 2026 OCTANE High Tech Awards

Award recognizes innovation and growth in software built for wire harness manufacturers

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., October 01, 2026: Cableteque has been named Best Enterprise or B2B Technology Innovation at the 2026 OCTANE High Tech Awards. The awards, held September 25 in Irvine, celebrate the companies and leaders driving technology and medical technology innovation in Orange County. This category honors a B2B product that is both innovative and growing.

“Cableteque is a great example of the innovation happening across Southern California’s technology ecosystem,” said Rita Battocchio, Head of Events at OCTANE. “We’re excited to recognize Cableteque as the Best Enterprise or B2B Technology Innovation winner and celebrate the impact they’re already making in their industry.”

Wire harnesses run through nearly every car, aircraft, medical device, and defense system. Yet the manufacturers who build them still quote, source, and plan much of their work by hand. Cableteque was built to change that.

"I spent more than 35 years in wire harness manufacturing. I watched skilled teams lose RFQs not because they couldn't build the part, but because they couldn't answer fast enough," said Arik Vrobel, CEO and Founder of Cableteque. "This award shows the industry is ready for modern tools. It belongs to our team, and to the customers who trust us and help shape the product."

Cableteque connects engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing on one platform. It analyzes RFQ packages, interprets drawings, and flags missing information up front. From there, it builds BOMs and wire lists, costs material and labor, and carries the data through to the manufacturing floor.
The results are measurable. Customers report 70% faster quote turnaround and five times the quote capacity. For defense and government programs, CabletequeGov has achieved FedRAMP Ready status.
