Stonhard Meets Multitude of Flooring Demands for Electronics Manufacturer

A Static Situation

Plexus, a leader in electronic manufacturing services, provides products that are used in a variety of different industries such as networking, data communications, medical, industrial, computer and even transportation. Plexus’ worldwide capabilities has made it a reliable source for customers everywhere. However, with a growing business comes new expansion opportunities, as was the case with Plexus.

When Plexus expanded its operations in Illinois and Wisconsin, the new facilities needed to meet specific capabilities, especially when it came to the flooring system. Plant managers were frustrated with the tile floors at Plexus because they couldn’t stand up to the demands of the environment and were in constant need of repair.

Due to the high volume of manufacturing and assembly at Plexus facilities, there is a tremendous amount of traffic and buildup of static shock. Electro-static buildup stems from a facilities’ surface and is a primary concern for any manufacturing area utilizing sensitive electronic components and equipment. Finding a solution for these issues, along with providing a comfortable yet visually appealing environment for Plexus employees was tough – but Stonhard manufactures flooring for both performance and aesthetics.

Three Products, One Solution

To meet both the design and performance requirements for Plexus facilities, Stonhard incorporated three of its best products for their environment. Stonlux ESD covered approximately 54,600 sq. ft. of high-traffic aisles. Stonlux ESD is a seamless, self-leveling, conductive floor system that provides outstanding static control properties along with high performance and durability.

Next, 40,000 sq. ft. of Stonclad GS, a four-component, troweled, epoxy mortar system was laid out to tackle the issue of abrasion and impact resistance on docks and traffic aisles. In medium traffic spaces like congregation areas and restrooms, Stonshield SLT was installed to provide a long-lasting, easy-to-clean, slip-resistant surface. The project, totaling over 225,000 sq. ft. was completed over the span of just two months and Plexus granted a national agreement to Stonhard.
