SKAN, the Allschwil-based isolator maker, pairs an industrial automation stack (Siemens S7-1200, Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, SCADA, HMI) with a Microsoft-centric IT core (.NET, C#, SQL Server, Azure) and SAP S/4HANA. Job posts point to an IT overhaul: hybrid cloud migration and identity and access modernization recur most often. Current US hiring is engineering-heavy, with a Head Service Sales search signaling investment in aftermarket service revenue.
