SKIDATA, an Austrian manufacturer of access control and ticketing systems for parking facilities, ski resorts and leisure infrastructure, has announced plans to cut 45 jobs or around 10 percent of staff at its headquarters in Grödig.
The restructuring was reported in February 2026 after the company notified the Public Employment Service (AMS) through an early warning procedure regarding potential dismissals.
The trade union GPA in Salzburg stated that it had been surprised by the announcement and indicated that it currently has limited access to the company as there is no works council at the site. The union advised affected employees to seek consultation before signing any termination agreements.
