What do you mean by assembly? Just putting on connectors/pwm?

If so, I have a really hard time believing that ESD was the problem. Our team has used hundreds of Victors over the years, and has never heard of an ESD problem. We have used absolutely no ESD protection ever with the components, and many teams do the same. If the new controllers were super ESD sensitive, then many more people would complain.
