This universe changes! Sometimes GOD removes all the TB factories from your game and you have to build your own (can buy it from Paranid).

Here's where you can buy TBs and TB fabs when game starts:

On a side note: If you think TB is bad, hear that: I once had a game where the sucker removed ALL FLAK FACTORIES from my game. ALL. Just imagine my surprise when I went to Seizewell. :-)

That said, it's far cheaper to just sit next to a trade lane and jump the first Tractor Beam containing freighter.

Chance of bumping into one is like chance of winning a lottery.

AFAIK there are only 2 in the game at the start and they're both in the same system. Mine were wiped out early on by GOD however, so I built a fab for them.
