Houston may soon host a $365 million manufacturing facility, generating dozens of jobs in the area. Tele-Fonika Cable Americas Corp (TFCA) is exploring the possibility of establishing a cable manufacturing plant in Houston, called “Project Greenstar,” and has applied for a tax break through the Jobs, Energy, Technology and Innovation Act.

The proposed factory would create 75 permanent jobs and employ 300 construction workers, as per the company’s filing. The facility aims to produce rubber-insulated cables for use in mining and oil and gas drilling operations, with industrial manufacturers and refiners as the primary consumers.

Tele-Fonika explained that the choice of location was influenced by a copper shortage in the U.S., attributed to increased demand due to the energy transition, potential tariffs, and insufficient new mining capacity. The tax burden’s impact on the project’s economic return is critical for site approval by the parent company, Tele-Fonika Kable S.A. Reducing school taxes over a decade would offer significant operational savings, making Texas a more attractive site for the venture.

The project is planned for a 117-acre site in Waller ISD, near Harris County, currently used for hay production, at 19702 Kickapoo Road. Construction is scheduled to start in 2026 and finish by 2029. TFCA was contacted for comment by Chron but did not immediately respond.
