SelecTech’sStaticStop division goes global; partners with German Distributor Wolfgang Wambier to sell FreeStyle ESD products in European market

AVON, MA…

SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, recently announced Wolfgang Wambier as its European distributor for its StaticStop, static control flooring division. Wambier will market SelecTech’s FreeStyle ESD products under the EcoStat brand.

“This is a major international expansion as Wolfgang has made commitments both in resources and in inventory,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Incorporated. “We are excited to partner with Warmbier, the European leader in static control products, to bring our products to the European market. This makes StaticStop the only full-line static control flooring company with an international presence. We are also proud that Warmbier has approved our product for inclusion in their line after a significant, in-depth testing and review.”

FreeStyle ESD flooring products employ a breakthrough interlocking technology that dramatically reduces installation times, completely bypassing the need for adhesives and floor prep to install or replace flooring. Because machinery does not have to be completely moved or removed for installation, downtime for businesses can be minimized or even eliminated altogether.

“On average, it can cost a business $1 per square foot per day if you have to shut down to install or replace flooring. That expense can be a staggering cost for a business open for a normal eight- to 10-hour work day, never mind one that has three shifts,” said Ricciardelli. “Beyond the reduction of down time, we feel the other benefits of our static-control FreeStyle ESD products will be very attractive to European businesses.”

Freestyle ESD products are made using recycled material and are 100 percent recyclable. These materials create a static-controlled environment that’s perfect for industries that significantly utilize electronics and sensitive data like electronics manufacturing, communications, aerospace, biotech, healthcare industries, and other high-tech industries.

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 that personnel walking on it, particularly in environments of extreme sensitivity, generate minimal voltage. 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.
