Industrial heat treatment furnaces and atmosphere control systems
Ipsen manufactures specialized industrial furnaces for heat treatment across aerospace, automotive, and medical device sectors. The stack is firmly rooted in industrial automation (Siemens S7 PLCs, EPLAN, TIA Portal) with .NET/C# for engineering tooling and SQL Server backends — typical of machinery builders with embedded systems. Hiring is concentrated in engineering (junior-to-mid level), tied to two active plant deployments and modernization work; growth support and meeting scaling targets appear as consistent internal pressure points.
