Root Catalog
Premium modular workstations engineered for the most demanding ESD-protected areas in electronics, semiconductor and medical device manufacturing.
Treston combines the heritage of two iconic Finnish manufacturers — Treston Oy (founded 1969) and Sovella (roots dating to 1876). Today, with factories in Turku and Jyväskylä, Treston is one of the world’s leading producers of ergonomic, modular industrial furniture. Every workstation carries the DNA of precision engineering, uncompromising quality, and a deep understanding of real production environments.
Unlike conventional benches where ESD protection is added later, Treston integrates static control into the fundamental design — from conductive powder coating and ESD laminates to integrated grounding points and material selection. The result: reliable, maintainable, and future-proof EPA workstations.
Conductive paint systems and materials engineered from the core. Reduced reliance on secondary grounding hardware. Cleaner, safer, more efficient workspaces.
The Concept Ergo system allows tool-free attachment of shelves, drawers, lighting, and accessories at 25 mm increments. Reconfigure a complete workstation in minutes without drilling or welding.
TPH series: 620–1,280 mm height range, up to 35 mm/s adjustment speed, 150 kg rated load. Designed for multi-shift, high-mix production environments.
Industry-leading warranty on frames and mechanisms. Documented 10–15 year service life in demanding industrial use. Lower total cost of ownership.
One supplier for workbenches, packing stations, transport trolleys, storage systems, cabinets, and lighting — all fully ESD-compatible and dimensionally matched.
ISO 14001 certified. Responsible steel and plastic processing with high recycling rates. Long product life reduces environmental footprint dramatically.
ESD protection in electronics handling areas. Surface resistance 10⁶–10⁹ Ω. Full EPA system resistance < 3.5 × 10⁷ Ω.
US harmonized ESD control program standard. Suitable for global supply chains serving North American OEMs.
Quality management system covering design, production, sales and service of industrial workstations.
Environmental management. Documented energy reduction, waste recycling and sustainable supplier practices.
Regular qualification by accredited laboratories (Cascade Metrology and others). Test reports available on request.
Proven durability in 24/7 electronics and automotive production environments across Europe and beyond.
Every element is designed to work together. The 25 mm pitch upright system is the backbone that allows seamless integration across the entire range.
Ultimate flexibility. Electric or manual height adjustment. Hundreds of accessories. The benchmark for high-mix, high-change production cells.

Procurement decisions based solely on initial purchase price often lead to significantly higher long-term costs in EPA environments. The table below summarizes the strategic differences.
| Decision Factor | Treston (Premium European) | Economy / Generic Import | Traditional Fixed Benches |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD Protection Method | Integrated from design stage — conductive paint + certified laminates | Often surface coatings or add-on mats that degrade over time | Frequently none or basic — requires expensive retrofits |
| Reconfiguration Speed | Minutes (tool-free 25 mm system) | Hours or impossible without new fabrication | Days — often requires new bench purchase |
| Warranty & Longevity | 10 years structural + mechanisms | 1–3 years typical | 2–5 years |
| Accessory Ecosystem | 300+ matched, in-stock components | Limited or incompatible after 2–3 years | Usually none or third-party only |
| Audit Documentation | Full test reports + ISO certificates per delivery | Often missing or self-declared | Rarely adequate for regulated industries |
| Total Cost of Ownership (5–7 yrs) | Lowest — minimal replacements, high uptime, fast adaptation | Highest — frequent replacements + hidden ESD failures | High — lack of flexibility creates waste |
IPC-A-610, IEC 61340-5-1 compliant lines for PCB population, inspection and test.
Front-end and back-end processes requiring the highest level of static control.
ISO 13485 environments — cleanroom-compatible options available (ISO 14644 Class 7).
IATF 16949 and VDA 6.3 suppliers. High-mix, high-reliability production cells.
AS9100 environments. Traceable components and documented ESD control programs.

One undetected ESD event can destroy components worth thousands of euros — or cause latent field failures that damage brand reputation.
Treston workstations are a strategic investment in quality, compliance and operational agility — not a commodity purchase.
“The new furniture has significantly improved ergonomics, occupational health, and job satisfaction.”
“Several competitor products we viewed didn’t give us the same level of confidence, modularity and robustness.”
“With a fleet like this, I can almost literally put any project anywhere.”
