ESD-proof by design: How Treston effectively provides customer-specific ESD workstation solutions 19.8.2025 |

When working with sensitive electronic components, managing static electricity is an absolute requirement. Even minor electrostatic discharges (ESD) pose a serious threat to product performance and reliability. To avoid costly failures, product replacements and brand deterioration, you want to optimize the working space for your needs. Sometimes, standard products don’t come in the right shape or size, and you need a special customized solution.

At Treston, our customized products and workstation solutions are ESD Proof by Design™. We don’t add ESD protection as an afterthought, we build it in to our products from the beginning. Our workstations provide a strong foundation for tailored solutions, meeting strict ESD requirements while adapting to specific needs. This ensures safe, efficient, and durable performance in demanding environments.

We build on the reliability of our standard products to create custom setups that meet unique requirements, even in large-scale or highly regulated environments.

Custom solutions across industries

Treston workstations have been tailored for various industries, workflows, and environments — including electronics manufacturing, in-house logistics, medical technology, R&D labs, and many more.

Built for ESD from the ground up

At Treston, ESD protection is part of the design from the very start. Every standard workstation is engineered with ESD safety in mind, ensuring reliable performance in static-sensitive environments.

What makes Treston workstations truly ESD-compatible:

Dissipative powder-coated metal parts for controlled static discharge
Zinc-coated contact points at critical junctions
Smart material choices that balance cost-efficiency with full protection

ESD workstations built to evolve with your business

Our modular ESD workstations are designed to grow with your business. Need to add new tools? Change layout? Expand production? No problem - just reconfigure, reuse, and keep moving forward.

In many cases, this level of flexibility is enough. But sometimes, the requirements go further. Tighter specifications, unique dimensions, integrated technology, or unconventional workflows. That’s when tailored workstation solutions come into play.

Typical ways to tailor Treston workstations – with Treston’s in-house design and manufacturing, the possibilities are endless.

Grounding options in our standard workstations - a smart starting point for tailored ESD workstation solutions

Depending on the model, Treston workstations can be grounded in two fully compliant ways. Knowing the grounding method early helps define the technical base and ensures compatibility with your facility's infrastructure.

You don’t have to decide alone — Treston’s solutioneering-team will recommend the best option for your setup based on your environment, layout, and protection needs.

ESD grounding points. Different ways to ground Treston workbenches – Grounding with and without a wire

1. Grounding without a wire

Many Treston workstations feature ESD-safe, conductive powder coating. When used on an ESD-safe floor, the bench is automatically grounded through the frame - no wire needed.

This setup keeps your space clean, mobile, and clutter-free. ESD castors are also available for safe mobility within grounded zones.

Wire-free models

2. Grounding with a wire

Other models use a dedicated grounding wire to connect directly to the Common Point Ground (CPG) of the facility. This ensures safe, controlled discharge of static energy into the earth.

Wired models

Whether your environment calls for wire-free simplicity or direct grounding control, Treston has a compliant, built-in solution.

From concept to completion - we own the process

Got a bigger project? We don’t just supply benches — we design, plan, and deliver complete ESD workspace solutions:

You’ll have one clear point of contact and full transparency from start to finish.
