One manufacturer, three ways to buy.
Why New Hampshire Is a Strategic ESD Flooring Market
Few states pack as much critical defense manufacturing into as small a footprint as New Hampshire. The 25-mile triangle between Manchester, Nashua, and Merrimack is the design and manufacturing center for the F-35's electronic warfare suite — the AN/ASQ-239 EW/CM system that gives every F-35 pilot real-time situational awareness and the ability to evade, jam, or counter threats. BAE Systems' 6,500 New Hampshire employees have delivered over 1,200 EW shipsets to date, with the Block 4 modernization program adding 11 new capabilities under $491 million in Lockheed Martin contracts. Every shipset contains ESD-sensitive radar warning receivers, digital signal processors, and countermeasure dispensers. The floor needs to perform.
New Hampshire is also where the U.S. Army's Next Generation Squad Weapons program is being manufactured. Sig Sauer's Newington facility — 2,000+ employees in a 210,000 square foot plant with $1.06 billion in federal contracts since 2022 — produces the M5 rifle and M250 automatic rifle that are replacing the M4 carbine and M249 SAW for close-combat forces. The newly expanded live-fire test range, which received the 2025 ABC Chairman's Excellence in Construction Award, includes a 328-foot suspended steel firing tube and propellant handling zones. These are DoD 4145.26-m AA&E environments where the combined floor + footwear + body resistance must stay beneith 1.0 million ohms — and PumaCRETE conductive (-c) systems engineer to below 300,000 ohms on the floor alone.
Beyond defense, New Hampshire's industrial base spans L3Harris Londonderry night vision and electro-optics (1,200 employees), MilliporeSigma Jaffrey microfiltration (1,100 employees, supplying life sciences and electronics filtration), Lonza Biologics Portsmouth cell and gene therapy manufacturing, GE Aerospace, Albany International composites, Hitchiner precision casting, TE SubCom Hudson subsea telecom systems, and Cirtronics employee-owned contract electronics. Each has slightly different ESD demands. PumaCRETE engineers a single product family that covers all of them. Reference ANSI/ESD S20.20 and DoD Manual 4145.26-m for the governing standards.

ESD Flooring New Hampshire FAQ
What New Hampshire industries specify PumaCRETE ESD flooring?
BAE Systems F-35 electronic warfare manufacturing across Manchester, Nashua, Merrimack, and Hudson (6,500 NH employees producing the AN/ASQ-239 EW suite for every F-35); Sig Sauer firearms and Next Generation Squad Weapons production in Newington (2,000+ employees, $1.06B in federal contracts); L3Harris Londonderry night vision and electro-optics (1,200 employees); MilliporeSigma Jaffrey microfiltration for life sciences (1,100 employees); Lonza Biologics Portsmouth cell and gene therapy; GE Aerospace; TE SubCom subsea telecom; and aerospace precision manufacturers including Albany International, Hitchiner, and NH Ball Bearings.
Why does BAE Systems New Hampshire need ESD flooring?
BAE Systems in Nashua and Manchester manufactures the AN/ASQ-239 Electronic Warfare suite for the F-35 Lightning II — over 1,200 systems delivered with $491M+ Block 4 contracts active. Every component on an F-35 EW shipset is ESD-sensitive. A single static discharge during assembly can damage radar warning receivers, jammers, or processors that go into the aircraft. ANSI/ESD S20.20 compliance is required across the production floor with body voltage below 100 volts. PumaESD dissipative epoxy systems achieve below 15 volts — providing significant margin to spec.
Does PumaCRETE flooring meet DoD 4145.26-m for Sig Sauer and other NH AA&E facilities?
Yes. Sig Sauer's Newington firearms and ammunition manufacturing — including U.S. Army Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) production — is an arms, ammunition, and explosives (AA&E) environment governed by DoD Manual 4145.26-m. The standard requires combined floor + footwear + body resistance below 1.0 million ohms. PumaCRETE conductive (-c) systems achieve below 300,000 ohms on the floor alone — built-in factor of safety. Applies to live-fire test ranges, propellant handling, ammunition assembly, and similar AA&E zones.
Who installs PumaCRETE in New Hampshire?
EP Floors Corp. (Three Rivers, MA) is the PumaCRETE certified installer partner for New Hampshire. Manchester NH is approximately 95 miles from Three Rivers — under 2 hours. Nashua, Hudson, and the Massachusetts border towns are even closer. EP Floors has been installing PumaCRETE at NH defense, biotech, and electronics facilities for over 30 years. We do not sub-contract to unknown crews. Every installation is backed by a manufacturer-plus-installer warranty.
What's the difference between dissipative and conductive flooring for NH facilities?
Static dissipative (SD) flooring has resistance between 1×10&sup6; and 1×10&sup9; ohms — for electronics, biotech, and semiconductor work where the goal is bleeding off static to protect ESD-sensitive components. Used at BAE F-35 EW manufacturing, L3Harris electro-optics, MilliporeSigma microfiltration, and Lonza biotech. Conductive (C) flooring has lower resistance (25,000 to 1.0 million ohms) — for AA&E, munitions, and propellant handling where the goal is ignition prevention. Used at Sig Sauer NGSW production. PumaCRETE manufactures both ranges in one product family.
Can NH biotech facilities use PumaCRETE in cleanrooms?
Yes. MilliporeSigma Jaffrey microfiltration manufacturing, Lonza Biologics Portsmouth cell and gene therapy, and similar biotech operations use PumaCRETE dissipative epoxy systems in ISO Class 7 and ISO Class 8 cleanrooms. The seamless, monolithic, low-VOC formulation supports gowning protocols and HEPA-filtered air quality. The 200 Series PumaCRETE moisture-blocking primer handles the elevated relative humidity common in biotech cleanrooms.
Can I buy PumaCRETE materials only without installation in New Hampshire?
Yes. PumaCRETE offers three buying options: complete turnkey installation through EP Floors Corp. and other certified applicators, materials-only supply with detailed installation instructions, videos, specialty tools, and surface prep guidelines for in-house contractors or maintenance crews, or on-site factory training to qualify your facility's own team. Several NH defense primes use union maintenance crews or in-house facilities staff for ongoing repairs and prefer the materials-only or training options.
Does PumaCRETE support Pease ANGB and other NH military aviation?
Yes. Pease Air National Guard Base (Newington) operates KC-46A Pegasus tankers. Aircraft maintenance hangars, avionics labs, and ground support equipment areas benefit from ESD-rated flooring to protect both aircraft electronics and depot-level maintenance equipment. PumaCRETE conductive systems also serve any military munitions storage or handling areas governed by DoD 4145.26-m. The product family covers the full range of military aviation ESD needs under a single manufacturer.
