A real electrostatic discharge flooring solution for an AI company. Astera Labs installs SelecTile ESD flooring at its Santa Clara, CA facility.

 Santa Clara CA and Avon MA– March 20, 2025 – SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products including electrostatic discharge flooring, recently announced the installation of 2,000 square feet of its StaticStop, SelecTile ESD Flooring Tiles—in a custom gray—at Astera Labs’ electronics lab at its Santa Clara, CA location. SelecTech’s distributor, Restronics, brokered the deal. SelecTile ESD Interlocking tiles are the only ESD products available that have NO DISCLAIMERS for high-moisture, irregular, and problem subfloors. Made with a minimum of 20% recycled materials, our system is the only ESD conductive flooring of its kind that can contribute to LEED™ Credits.

The explosion of data and rapid growth in specialized workloads — like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) — have given rise to heterogeneous computing and composable disaggregation topologies. Astera Labs creates purpose-built data and memory connectivity solutions to address the performance bottlenecks in these data-centric systems.

“In this day of ChatGPT and other AI solutions, you can imagine the amount of data that’s being reviewed and processed. The delicacy of the hardware Astera Labs builds for these solutions requires as much protection from static electricity as possible. Our SelecTile ESD product mitigates that static electricity and helps prevent any glitches,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, President of SelecTech, Inc.“
