What Prostat Corporation does

Prostat Corporation, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Glendale Heights, Illinois, manufactures premium electrostatic discharge (ESD) control measurement and testing instruments. Its portfolio of more than 60 products spans wide-range resistance meters (PRS-801B, PRS-812B, PAS-853B), electrostatic field meters (PFM-711B, Model 715B), charged plate monitors (CPM-766, CPM-760A), ionizer test sets, walking-voltage autoanalysis systems (PGA-712, PGA-710B), grounding products, and integrated audit kits (PAK, PSK, PFC, PPA series) aligned to ANSI/ESD S20.20, IEC 61340, and ESD TR53 compliance frameworks.

The company's commercial model combines hardware sales, NIST-traceable calibration and repair services, and recurring training revenue through Prostat University, whose TR53 Technician certification is approved by the ESD Association. It reaches end customers primarily through an Elite Worldwide Network of Authorized Resellers supplemented by Authorized Calibration Labs for local service, direct phone sales, and the ESDCheck.com e-commerce storefront for the budget segment. End users are concentrated in electronics manufacturing, with secondary use in automotive electronics, medical device manufacturing, military and aerospace, and aviation.

Prostat operates as a privately held, lean organization (1-10 employees) led by President Frank Coloccia, with product development credited internally to founding-team expertise rather than to external AI or software platforms. There is no public revenue disclosure, no recorded funding rounds, and no public-company filings.
