A Top 10 global pharmaceutical manufacturer with operations across the Greater Boston area needed support managing laboratory equipment following the acquisition of several small therapeutics companies.

As new assets entered the organization, the company required a localized, compliant solution to consolidate, store, track, and redistribute laboratory equipment across its Boston-area facilities.

Following multiple acquisitions, the client faced a significant influx of laboratory equipment that needed to be integrated into its existing operations. At the same time, its Boston-area facilities were already constrained by limited lab and storage space.

Without a centralized asset management process, the client risked reduced visibility, underutilization of valuable equipment, and operational disruption during post-acquisition integration.

The client needed a solution to:

• Consolidate equipment from newly acquired company sites
• Free up valuable lab and facility space
• Improve visibility and control over existing and incoming assets
• Store laboratory equipment securely and compliantly
• Enable fast redistribution of assets to nearby Boston-area locations

EquipNet partnered with the client to provide a comprehensive storage and logistics solution anchored by its warehouse in Canton, Massachusetts. EquipNet managed the packing, coordination, transportation, intake, and storage of laboratory equipment from acquired company sites, creating a centralized local hub for both existing and newly acquired assets. Through its Canton facility, EquipNet provided secure, organized storage, serialized inventory tracking, and ongoing logistics support, including weekly deliveries and pickups throughout the Boston area. This approach enabled the client to maintain centralized visibility over its equipment while allowing assets to be accessed and redeployed on demand to nearby locations.

EquipNet helped the client streamline a complex post-acquisition consolidation effort while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations. By leveraging EquipNet’s local infrastructure and asset management expertise, the client was able to improve space utilization across its Boston-area facilities, maintain better control over high-value laboratory equipment, and ensure critical assets were available when and where they were needed.

Key outcomes included:

• Seamless consolidation of laboratory equipment following multiple acquisitions
• Reduced pressure on limited lab and storage space
• Improved visibility and control over legacy and newly acquired assets
• Faster access to critical equipment across Boston-area locations
• Ongoing logistics support through weekly deliveries and pickups
• Greater operational continuity during post-acquisition integration
