As leader in the healthcare industry for more than 80 years, this company is respected and well-known throughout the globe. They specialize in medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology– and they are also one of EquipNet’s highly valued corporate clients.

With headquarters located in northern Illinois, and 42% of their worldwide sales coming out of the US, they have relied on EquipNet to provide them with their surplus asset solutions since 2004.

With a looming site closure on the horizon for a facility in New Jersey, this company needed to come up with a way to dispose of their lab equipment (HPLC’s, Mass Specs, NMR’s, GC Systems), as well as nearly everything else under their roof, such as office furniture, cubicles, etc. They needed to have the building cleared out and move-in ready for the new tenants that would soon be taking ownership of the building.

With less than six months to go, EquipNet needed to come up with a comprehensive solution to meet the client’s goals in a timely and cost effective way.

EquipNet deployed a team of their equipment specialists to the site the gauge the scope of work at hand. Here, their entire inventory was properly inventoried and accounted for.

After the equipment had been written up, we began promoting it right away by adding it to the catalog for one of our popular online lab auctions, in hopes expediting a large scale clearance.

The auction yielded very strong results, with $88,000 in equipment sales and a near vacant building a month before their deadline. The client was very pleased with the way we able to clear out their facility and the returns we were able to disperse back to them. Since this was a self-funded project, EquipNet’s auction clearance strategy saved this company from having to incur additional expenses to dispose of their equipment, so they never had to pay out of pocket for any of the services provided to them.
