SelecTech, Inc. Appoints Christopher I. Hughes as Inside Sales Manager

Christopher Hughes
Christopher Hughes

SelecTech, Inc. a leader in the manufacture of innovative commercial and industrial flooring products from recycled materials, has recently appointed Christopher I. Hughes as Inside Sales Manager.

A veteran of the static control flooring industry, Mr. Hughes has more than two decades of experience working for ESD static control product manufacturers including United Technical Products (UTP) and Desco Industries. He also has eight years of experience working for ESD static control flooring distributors, among them, Julie Industries.

In his new role as Inside Sales Manager, Mr. Hughes will manage inside sales for SelecTech’s StaticStop ESD lines and will spearhead SelecTech’s new product launch of direct glue down ESD tiles known as FreeStyle CVT and EpoxyStyle ESD. Mr. Hughes will also be responsible for managing inventory, developing pricing strategies, and essentially expanding the StaticStop ESD brand “flooring footprint” nationally.

Mr. Hughes attended Boston University and is a native of Sharon, MA. He resides in Norfolk, MA with his wife and two children.

“We’ve brought Chris on board to support and grow our StaticStop ESD business. Chris is well known in the static control flooring industry and is extremely knowledgeable. He is a valuable addition to our team,” noted Thomas Ricciardelli, the company’s president.

“Conductive, Connected and Grounded”™

StaticStop ESD flooring solutions are versatile enough for a variety of static control environments from electronic manufacturing environments, server rooms, data centers, Federal and State government operation centers, PBX, HUB and call centers to retailers, commercial buildings, health care facilities, food service providers, schools and more. Companies that utilize SelecTech’s static control flooring include GlaxoSmithKline, T-Mobile, Boeing, USPS, Dell, Crestron Electronics, Volvo and the Federal Aviation Administration.

In a recent scientific test study conducted by a renowned, independent static control consulting firm, SelecTech’s commercial and industrial static control flooring systems passed resistance flooring/footwear tests with flying colors. StaticStop SelecTile ESD and FreeStyle ESD flooring systems exceeded requirements for grounding personnel and ensuring minimal voltage during walking on static control flooring, particularly in environments of extreme sensitivity. With a maximum walking voltage level result of seven volts, StaticStop SelecTile ESD and FreeStyle ESD are well under the 100 volts desired by companies handling ESD sensitive devices.

Orange Leaf frozen yogurt grand opening in Needham, Mass has ‘em lining the streets.

Nearly 2,000 “froyo” lovers lined Highland Avenue for the grand opening of Orange Leaf in Needham on July 31. Located right across the street from Needham High School at 1185 Highland Avenue, the line at the new Orange Leaf, not so coincidentally, was about the length of Needham High’s football field for a good part of the evening.

NEEDHAM, MA…

Nearly 2,000 “froyo” lovers literally lined the streets to attend the grand opening of the newest Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt located at 1185 Highland Avenue across from Needham High School in Needham, Mass.

Those who attended the grand opening, which took place from 6pm to 11pm on July 31, received a FREE Froyo and all the toppings they could pile on.

Said one attendee while waiting in a line that extended to nearly the length of a football field all night, “I’ve never seen anything like this in Needham in my 50 years of living here.”

In addition to the froyo giveaway, the grand opening featured dozens of raffles of everything from t-shirts and travel cups to an iPad Mini. Balloon artists and other children’s entertainment also kept the crowds entertained while people enjoyed their froyo.

“You could not ask for a better grand opening. We are absolutely thrilled to have given away over 15,000 ounces of free froyo and tempting toppings to the Needham area community!” said, Gerry Pelissier, co-owner of the Orange Leaf Needham location. “We chose this location due its proximity to the Needham High School – across the street!  We believe that Orange Leaf can make a difference in providing a “healthier dessert” to kids and adults alike with a low or no-fat, great tasting treat.

Orange Leaf makes 16 flavors of froyo fresh each day from a portfolio of 70. Since the Needham location’s initial opening at the end of June, the most popular flavors have Brownie Batter, Oreo, Orange and Vanilla Swirl.  Orange Leaf’s seasonal offering is Root Beer Float froyo.

Pelissier added, “We are all about choices and we offer more than 50 different toppings from fresh fruit (including chocolate dipped strawberries) to freshly baked waffle cups, hot fudge and home-made whipped cream.”

The Needham location marks the second Orange Leaf store opened by Pelissier and his partners. The first is in Canton, Massachusetts at Cobbs Corner. Each Orange Leaf employs 25 local people.

The Needham store encompasses a roomy 2,500 square feet and features a variety of seating including a community table for larger families and groups, cozy orange leather couches, high top tables and more.  The store also features complimentary WI-FI and USB charger ports for Phones and Laptops.
