We had an amazing time at our annual SKC Christmas Party and were thrilled to see so many familiar faces! It was a joy to relax, unwind, and connect with everyone who joined us (including Santa and Mrs. Claus) and to come together to celebrate this company that we call family. Thank you to all who organized and helped to make it such a memorable celebration and kickoff to the holiday season!

Last week, SKC successfully hosted our first Fundamentals of Industrial Hygiene (FIH) Training led by our Corporate Industrial Hygienist, Dusty Ott, CIH. This event provided the opportunity to engage directly with our products and deepen our understanding of the role these tools play in tackling workplace health and safety challenges faced by industrial hygienists today. We were thrilled to be able to engage in meaningful discussions with fellow professionals and to share our unique expertise. This experience was a great opportunity to learn and grow.
