Description
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.
SKIDATA is an Austrian technology company headquartered in Grödig and develops access and ticketing systems used in parking garages, stadiums, ski resorts and leisure facilities worldwide. The company employs around 1,400 people in 24 countries and operates with clients from around 100 countries. In 2024, the firm was acquired by the Swedish access solutions group ASSA ABLOY.

European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
