Who ever set up that "production area" is a fucking idiot and does not really understand what they are doing, certainly as regards Anti-static procedures for handling ASICS and PCB's at the level they claim they have.

Sorry but that is an epic FAIL.........

I hadn't looked closely before.

Are those really plastic mats covering the carpet, with wheeled chairs on top of them, and metal-framed desks?

Wow. When I was young I once worked in an office that was set up like this. I got "bit" many times a day by powerful discharges, and they messed with the Mac II on the desk whenever they struck. (they would cause the floppy drive to spontaneously eject.)

No. That's a concrete floor and the stations are exactly what you'd expect to find in any sort of electronics assembly shop. metal workbenches with anti-static pads to work on... exactly the same as used in every manual solder line on the planet.
